Hudson River Park Design Walk, Pier 66
With architects Allan + Ellen Wexler and artist Paul Ramirez Jonas
Saturday, June 14 at 2:00 PM
Meet at Pier 66, 26th Street and the Hudson River
Cost: $12, $10 for MAD Members
Join us for tour of the sculptural and architectural installations along Pier 66, a part of the Hudson River Park’s latest developments. Artist Paul Ramirez Jonas and architects Allan and Ellen Wexler will discuss the plans and concepts behind their publicly installed works, and the challenges involved with designing for the great outdoors.
Paul Ramirez Jonas is the artist behind “Long Time”, a 30-foot, stainless steel waterwheel that uses the Hudson River’s changing tides to power a connected odometer. The Wexlers created “Two Too Large Tables” an installation that provides seating and shade, encourages social interaction and engagement with the views and landscape of this unique setting.
