Description

The Public Art Fund continues its celebration of their 40th anniversary year with a major citywide exhibit by world-renowned artist Ai Weiwei. Employing actual fences set in public areas throughout New York City, this unusual outdoor show will highlight the potent symbolism of barriers and walls at a time when they have become a hot topic. Sites chosen for the installation include Essex Street Market, Cooper Union, bus shelters in Brooklyn and Queens' Flushing Meadows Corona Park, along with other spots throughout the five boroughs.
