Today, artist Deborah Kass joined Museum staff to wrap her iconic yellow “OY/YO” sculpture to show solidarity with Ukraine and its diasporic communities worldwide fighting for sovereignty and democratic freedom. Kass hailed “Glory to Ukraine” as she reflected on her grandparents, who were from a small Jewish community near Kyiv. Her activation aligns with her original motivation in creating this sculpture—to connect communities and to see our commonalities. We thank the community member who reached out to the artist with this suggestion to activate our sculpture. The fabric wrapping is a nod to the late Christo, the Bulgarian-born artist who famously wrapped cultural monuments and buildings in fabric, notably the Reichstag Building in Germany and the Gates in New York City’s Central Park.

Como eu sinto falta desses dias em que a gente se desliga de tudo e sai por aí pra andar. Anda tanto que gasta a sola do sapato, faz bolha no pé. Acha aqui e ali algum detalhe que encanta. Ficar um tempão procurando o melhor ângulo do retrato e esquecer da vida até ouvir o chamado impaciente da @lininha_la e do @aldomacri , que tem rodinhas no pé e já estão lá longe: “Ciganinha ficou pra trás!” 😂 🔸Gosto disso... de me deixar perder em ruas, descobrir coisas novas nos detalhes, conhecer gente nova, passar no meio de feiras e aglomerações, sentir aromas e sabores, me encantar com a sonoridade de novas línguas... Completamente anônima e deslumbrada no meio da multidão! Será que a gente ainda volta a fazer isso?! Ainda teremos o prazer desses momentos de se permitir quebrar barreiras? Eu que sempre tive fé num mundo com passaporte que prestasse só pra colecionar carimbo, temo por um futuro com mais restrições de fronteiras e menos abraços... Mas, como diria Chico Buarque... Amanhã vai ser outro dia! . . . #tbt❤️ #oyyo #newyork #brooklyn #brooklynbridgepark #travellovers #wanderlust #travelphotography (em OY YO, Brooklyn Bridge Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBSspCcnzbq/?igshid=okg9xsdlu5hj

It's sadly time to bid farewell to our yearlong public art activation Something to Say. Closing this Sunday, visit our public spaces to spend one final weekend with works by Brooklyn Hi-Art! Machine, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, and Hank Willis Thomas. If you can't make it before Sunday, you'll still be able to experience Deborah Kass' vibrant yellow OY/YO sculpture as a longterm installation on our plaza green. #mybkm #OYYO

Deborah Kass's first monumental sculpture, OY/YO was originally installed in Brooklyn Bridge Park and later in Williamsburg. In Prospect Heights and neighboring Crown Heights, OY/YO takes on new meaning, as it speaks to the longstanding, complex, and ever-evolving social dynamics between Black, Latinx, and Jewish communities in the neighborhood. Its location on our plaza allows broad access, actively greeting and engaging visitors as they walk by, reading as Yo from one direction and Oy from the other. 

See it on view through June 30 as part of our year-long public art activation, Something to Say.⠀⠀
