Every summer, since 2004, the Madison Square Park presents the free, contemporary art program Mad. Sq. Art. So, every year a different contemporary artist has the opportunity to show his/her work in the middle of this beautiful park.
This year the American artist Charles Long presents a very interesting interactive installation called Pet sounds. The art work consists of several colorful pipes that converge into sculptures that remind us of animals, even though they don't really have a specific form. And when touched, the sculptures produce different sounds.
I went today with P and I loved it. I actually didn't know about the musical part of the sculptures, so it was quite a nice surprise. P was a little bit afraid of them and wouldn't touch them, he preferred to hang on the pipes. However, the park was full of kids playing around the sculptures and discovering all the new sounds.
The exhibit will be shown until September 9th. Also, the park offers a wide variety of activities for both adults and children during the whole summer.
Eu adoro o parque justamente pelas pecas inusitadas q sao expostas Sempre uma otima surpresa. No final do ano havia um painel de luzes que piscavam, como as de Natal, mas à distancia vc notava q ela era uma "tela"de transmissao, e vc percebia as imagens das pessoas caminhando, formadas pelo piscar das luzes. Incrivel.
