It's not that heavy

2014

10 sculptures, carried with strangers

Polystyrene, fiberglass, cerastone, wood, latex, aluminum, particle board, steel, plexiglass. Dimensions variable

Performance at the South Street Seaport, for Out to See, a weekend-long art event curated by Sara Reisman.

I invited passers-by to help me carry my sculptures around the neighborhood.

Inspired by the past, present, and future commercial developments of 3 main real estate magnates active in Lower Manhattan: the Howard Hughes Corporation, General Growth Properties, and Brookfield Properties, "It's not that Heavy" is a performance that brings sculptures made while in residence at 1 Liberty Plaza, back into the streets and hands of the public.
