RED BLUE YELLOW art installation @ Madison Square Park

New Yorkers we have the best walking city, along with the best public parks, architecture and public art instillations.  On this beautiful weekend, I enjoyed a stroll through Madison Sq. Park; 23rd/Madison Avenue.  A large scale art installation, RED BLUE YELLOW by Orly Genger consists of 3 separate, wave-like forms made from knotted nautical rope.  The rope used 1,4000,000 ft. & weighs over 100,000 lbs.  The 3 structures are individually painted in 3 very vivid primary colors: red, blue, yellow.  Genger, a NYC based artist is known for her work molding ropes into bold structures.  Her art has been featured in both the MoMA & Whitney Museums. The 3 installations currently framing the Park are reminiscient of rollicking waves; rising and crashing, curving & folding.  Genger obtains rope from along the Eastern Seaboard.  RED BLUE YELLOW brings the ocean into the heart of our city.  The structures form a friendly citadel on the park.  These installations are gratis to enjoy and full of merriment.  But not made for climbing (sadly) or you will be made personna non gratis.  Allow the children to play in the playground, let your dogs off leash in the dog run, admire the wrought iron bldg. and have snack at the shake shack (which should be painted solid gold.)  Just get yourself there, walk around the installations and have fun.
