A WORK IN PUBLIC SPACE BY THOMAS HIRSCHHORN, PRODUCED BY DIA ART FOUNDATION NEW YORK
LOCATED AT FOREST HOUSES, THE BRONX - NEW YORK CITY, SUMMER 2013
The intensity of production has increased these past days. We have been seeing paintings
of landscapes, still life, abstractions and color wheels leaving the Workshop room
and finding their way onto the walls of the Internet Corner, the Library and the
Newspaper office. Myrna and Maria at the Gramsci Bar have also been contributing
to this creative escalation with their hand-made advertising campaign using paper
plates to write their daily menu. "Good chaos" is how I can describe the electricity
circulating from all corners, whether it is in the manner language is treated on
the headlines of the newspaper, the ideas spoken on stage at the daily lecture or
the rap improvised at the radio station.
