This work “Unparallel Way” was installed on the Fourth Ave Medians at 3rd St in
Brooklyn NY in October 2013. The work in aluminum is 140 feet in length
with varying heights and one foot wide. The piece is presented by the New York City Department of Transportation’s
Urban Art Program in partnership with the Old Stone House &
Washington Park and Brooklyn Utopias. It will be on exhibit hrough September 2014... or until it causes a traffic accident.
"In New York City, we often walk, ride, drive, or bike side-by-side unconsciously leading parallel lives. By raising the yellow lines that separate Fourth Avenue’s traffic lanes, Unparallel Way questions and heightens awareness of these paths we all follow, suggesting alternatives in a playful and humorous perspective. By encouraging going with the flow, engaging and contemplating our surroundings in our day to day."
