The Animus Art Collective’s installation, Flaming Cactus, transforms ordinary streetscapes through the use of vibrantly colored zip ties affixed to street poles. Originally installed at FIGMENT 2011 on Governors Island, the installation brought its playful energy and whimsy to Astor Place in Manhattan.
The zip ties, once wrapped and locked around the street poles, have tails of excess material. These tails create the effect of cactus needles sprouting from the trunk of the street poles.
In an interview for the Figment Project, Animus co-founder, Preston Dane said, “Our hope is to show that adding art to a community or space doesn’t require a lot of resources, formal education, or even money. Creativity is something we’re all capable of.”

Choreographer Pavel Sustiak, together with Palissimo, broke boundaries addressing the complexity of public and private spaces showing that art can occur when and where you least expect it.
Performances began with dancer Lindsey Dietz Marchant appearing to have missed her ferry and pressing her body to the closed doors in the boarding area at the ferry terminal. A small group of individuals then wandered over to scan the schedule that Lindsey was standing near – while they did, she stood frozen with one foot raised and spread her arms. Performers Gina Bashour and Jeff Kent Jacobs then morphed from civilians to contorted beings at which point most onlookers became confused not knowing whether to move or watch until it became clear a choreographed dance piece was being performed right in front of their eyes. To accompany the choreography, a sound bar was set up to which onlookers could plug in to hear different soundtracks thereby creating individualized unique experiences with the artwork.

This week the NYC DOT Vision Zero Street Team joins forces with Manhattan's NYPD 19th & 23rd Precincts to educate New Yorkers on the Upper East Side about Vision Zero and traffic safety.
The NYCDOT Art Program partnered with the International Studio and Curatorial Program to present Egyptian artist Mohamed Sharkawy’s work “Birds,” a series of six decorative panels along the corrugated metal fence at Vernon Boulevard and Queens Plaza South in Long Island City, Queens. Inspired by Egyptian wall painting, Sharkawy reduces each form into flat silhouettes in order to render recognizable images. The fanciful bird scenes reference the lives of birds that migrate through New York annually. Sharkawy’s birds express freedom and movement along with stillness and meditation.

“Keeping New York City’s urban landscape an interesting, attractive place for New Yorkers and visitors has always been a priority for our Administration, and one major way we’ve done it is through public art,” -Mayor Bloomberg.
Brooklyn-based artist Corinne Ulmann specializes in large-scale public art designs. Her Green Screen was one of four winning designs of the urbancanvas Design Competition, a contest to help beautify New York City’s urban landscape with art at construction sites. The competition challenged professional artists and designers to create artwork for temporary protective structures to bring an element of beauty to what is often an eyesore. Green Screen was installed on Thames Street to beautify one of the main entrances to the 9/11 Memorial.

Straus Media and the New York Society for Ethical Culture hosted a town hall meeting on January 21, 2015.
Moderated by Kyle Pope, Editor in Chief of Our Town, West Side Spirit, Our Town Downtown, Chelsea Clinton News, and Westsider.
NYC DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg joined speakers: Jill Abramson, former executive editor of the New York Times, Council Member Helen Rosenthal, and Dana Lerner of Families for Safe Streets to discuss pedestrian safety on the Upper West Side.
Artist Rena Leinberger transposed images of the veiled environment behind a fence on Vernon Boulevard and Queens Plaza South onto its face. She took six photographs shot in documentary fashion of the view beneath the Queensboro Bridge. These photographs were then re-photographed with everyday objects, in a state of falling, in front of them suggesting precipitation, celebration, and elusiveness. Never the artwork nor the scene they depict can ever be viewed in entirety, partially obscured by the flurry.
