New York is a city in constant motion, and in a new public art exhibition, even the skyscrapers seem to be getting in on the action.
Steel sculptures of 10 prominent city buildings dot the median strip of Park Avenue between 54th Street and 67th Street in Manhattan as part of contemporary artist Alexandre Arrechea's No Limits installation. But passersby can be forgiven if they don't instantly recognize the structures. Each has been given a tweak that, as the project's statement explains, it plays on the idea of elastic architecture as a metaphor for the challenges and opportunities of shifting conditions and new realities.
Here the Empire State Building is coiled into six foot wide octagon.
