弯月

The new work ‘Half Moon’ by Abigail DeVille utilizes found materials and simultaneously bears witness to and transforms public neglect, decay, and marginalization. Resonating with the site’s historic role as ferry slip and landfill, as well as its new position in a post-industrial neighborhood, the sculpture addresses issues of migration and immigration.

“In 1609, a ship called the Half Moon (translated from the Dutch “De Halve Maen”) arrived off the coast of what would eventually become New York City. As the captain of the vessel, Henry Hudson, sailed up the river that would one day bear his name, he encountered some of the 10,000 or so indigenous people living on either bank. In his journals, Hudson reportedly described them as “clothed in mantles of feathers and robes of fur, the women clothed in hemp, red copper tobacco pipes, and other things of copper they did wear about their necks.” Tellingly, Hudson wrote not of people but possessions. It is fitting that the story of New York City begins with a man who saw land, objects, and profit, but not human beings.” -Isaac Kaplan
目录
值此苏格拉底雕塑公园（Socrates Sculpture Park）今年迎来建园30周年之际，该机构推出了名为“地标”（LANDMARK）的系列艺术家委任创作与项目，从物质和象征双重层面重塑这片土地。苏格拉底公园曾是一个工业垃圾填埋场和非法倾倒垃圾的场所，如今已蜕变为纽约市卓越的雕塑公园，以及展示公共艺术、促进社区参与和城市探索的社交空间。“地标”直接探讨了“场所”这一概念，认为其与社会和生态结构、维护与管理以及随时间推移的演变紧密相连。.
