Public Art Fund Double Take showcases new commissions by Michael DeLucia, Christian de Vietri, Natasha Johns-Messenger, Johannes VanDerBeek, and the collaborative team of Matt Irie and Dominick Talvacchio. Designed with MetroTech Center's specific conditions in mind, the artists have taken an element of the existing architecture or en...vironment and subjected it to a process of modification or metamorphosis. Each work plays with fantasy and illusion to force a shift in perception, in turn creating a mirage of sorts. Nothing is as it seems: a chain-link fence dissolves into pixels, a bonfire yearns for its flame, outdoors is indoors, a ghost lurks, and a lamppost bends. Double Take celebrates the curious over the comfort able, the strange over the simple, and the mysterious over the mundane.

Public Art Fund Populating City Hall Park with 13 monumental silhouettes of iconic works of art, Peter Coffin's "Untitled (Sculpture Silhouettes)" takes the viewer on a journey through the history of sculpture. This idiosyncratic sculptural survey creates an environment in which variations on seminal sculptures are experienced in a ne...w and unexpected context. In transforming famous works of art into flattened silhouettes, Coffin invites us to reflect and expand upon the associations evoked by each form.
