Join NYC Parks and Leonard Ursachi for the opening of hispublic art exhibition What a Wonderful World.
What a Wonderful World is an eight-feet-high egg-shaped sculpture woven from branches, on which the artist sketched a world map with pigmented cement. The form and woven branches may evoke nests, birth, history, and nature, while the map may be read as humanity’s trace. The title may be interpreted as ironic, cautionary, or celebratory, depending on the viewer’s perspective. In addition to examining the impact of borders on individuals and societies, Ursachi’s art often addresses the impact of people and their governments on the earth. The artist will be present to speak about his work.

Public Art Opening: Rebecca Manson at Tribeca Park
Please join NYC Parks in celebrating the installation of Rebecca Manson’s first public sculpture!
Please join NYC Parks in celebrating the installation of Rebecca Manson’s first public sculpture! Come Closer and the View Gets Wider will open at Tribeca Park on Monday, July 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Thousands of handmade, glazed porcelain parts join together in an eight-foot orb for artist Rebecca Manson’s public installation. Come Closer and the View Gets Wider is a sphere of tiny porcelain sculptures, each an intimate, bone-like shape, adhered and supported by an elaborate system of aluminum and epoxy. Comprised of innumerable parts which on their own may appear insignificant, the structure celebrates the idea that small things together amount to something impactful; a monument to collective consciousness.
This event is free and open to the public
