ENG The Japanese architecture is transitory. Cherry blossom is transitory. For a moment blooming trees become that Japanese architecture turning into a temporary wall, a provisional ceiling, a disappearing carpet, a fleeting landscape. Japanese people gather together under that single roof of young fleeting flowers as one big family, each member with an endless sense of community. We all know that the nation is represented by cherry blossom. But (probably) not everybody understands that cherry blossom represents one nation. By @NovozhilovaM | IT L'architettura giapponese è transitoria. Il ciliegio in fiore è transitorio. Per un attimo i boccioli trasformandosi in pareti temporanee, soffitti provvisori, tappeti e paesaggi fugaci diventano l'architettura giapponese. Le persone si riuniscono sotto questo tetto naturale e fuggevole come una grande famiglia. Non da soli ma tutti insieme stanno sotto i boccoli appena spuntati. Sappiamo che la nazione è rappresentata dai fiori di ciliegio. Ma (probabilmente) non tutti capiscono che i fiori di ciliegio rappresentano una nazione. By @NovozhilovaM |

First you cross a tall gate to enter to a manufacturing courtyard. Turn left. Then, while climbing a narrow stair and observing the patio from a progressively higher and higher point of view, you discover many wired details: something that looks like a suspended in the air tree, an enormous thrown down hollow tree trunk and other scattered all over the place strange stuff. Examining a little better, it appears clear that what seemed a tree bark a moment ago is actually an art metalwork. Right. We are at Foundry Battaglia. ENG
New York—Madison Square Park Conservancy’s Mad. Sq. Art announces a new sculptural installation for late winter 2014: This Land Is Your Land by Brooklyn-based Chilean artist Iván Navarro. The site-specific installation will present three water towers inside of which neon reflections repeat infinitely. The sculptures merge a staple of the New York skyline with the street-level landscape of the Park. The artist takes the exhibition’s title from the beloved 1940 Woody Guthrie folk song, which is both an American anthem and a vocal pull to the freedoms offered in this country for an immigrant population. The towers will be elevated to a height above visitors’ heads, allowing them to walk underneath and look up into each sculpture to view the content within. The exhibition will be on view daily from February 20 – April 13, 2014 in Madison Square Park.
