Today was the last day of Ann Hamilton's "event of a thread" at the Park Armory. It's a whimsical, interactive art display involving swings. It was fun! You swing, and the strings attached to the swing move through pulleys and move this big, white, silky curtain. According to the exhibit information it invites "visitors to connect to the action of each other and the work itself."
This is the type of art I can get into. I don't get the larger meaning, I'll be honest. But I love the beauty of the movement of the curtain, especially when you lay down under it.
The other interesting thing, considering it was an interactive exhibit, was that no one got beaned by a swing. You had a lot of people and kids running in and around the swings and no one got it. There were close calls, but no collisions.
MP took some pics and vid of the exhibit, as well, that you can view here.
