LIC Arts Open with Wendy Klemperer at Court Square Park – Shadow Migration
Shadow Migration exhibits animal silhouettes cut from steel plates and installed throughout the park.
Enter at Jackson Avenue between Court Square West and Thompson Avenue.
Meet artist Wendy Klemperer at her public art exhibition Shadow Migration as part of LIC Arts Open.
Shadow Migration exhibits animal silhouettes cut from steel plates and installed throughout the park. Klemperer investigates animal populations that were threatened in the 20th century but are now rebounding and showing up in “our backyard”. Wild animals are finding their way into suburban and urban environments as human populations sprawl into their natural habitats. While many species have been devastated, some are adapting and thriving on the largesse of urban life. Hawks dive from high rise cornices to feast on the rich urban population of pigeons and rats; bears walk through New Jersey neighborhoods; and just several blocks from Court Square Park, a coyote found its way to a rooftop in Long Island City.
Klemperer’s animal silhouettes are steel forms punctuated with cutouts in the shape of countries from around the world. Each animal is a melting pot, bearing countries on its body that are also represented in Queens’ population—the most diverse community in the world.
This exhibition was made possible by the Clare Weiss Emerging Artist Award.

Join NYC Parks for the opening reception of Wendy Klemperer’s temporary public art exhibition Shadow Migration.
The exhibition portrays a range of species (a bear, fox, wolf, catamount, among others) that are cut from steel plates and installed throughout the park. Transforming the park into a walk through the wilderness, Klemperer investigates animal populations that were threatened in the 20th century, but are rebounding and showing up in “our backyard.” Not only are wild animals are finding their way into suburban and urban environments as human populations sprawl into their natural habitats, but they are adapting and thriving on the largesse of urban life.
