Artist Arlene Shechet has created in 2018-2019 a site-specific installation at Madison Square Park featuring a series of new sculptures in porcelain, wood, steel, and cast iron installed around and within the emptied circular reflecting pool. Initially inspired by memories of a sunken living room in her grandparents’ apartment, Shechet wants visitors to step down into the reflecting pool to “linger and reflect.”

The sculpture looks a bit like a costume, with a piece of tree growing out of it. The ‘fallen arm’ sticks up. At the end is a ceramic snail shell, covered with green glaze. It is as if the sculpture is giving birth to something from within. There is an association with the Statue of Liberty with the raised arm, also because one of the other sculptures is an arm with a hand holding a torch.
ARTZUID is a biennial open-air sculpture exhibition on Apollolaan in south of Amsterdam. ARTZUID 2025 (Enlightenment) runs from May 21 to September 21, curated by Ralph Keuning.
