Art and Action: How to Have Fun in New York City in March 2021

March promises many public art exhibitions for New Yorkers. You will find installations where you can bring your children, admire after dark, or make a stop on the way out of town. Edition Untapped Cities has compiled a list of exhibitions worth seeing this month in New York.

Geometric Properties at Artechouse

Geometric Properties Is an installation created by the Dutch visual and fractal artist Julius Horsthuis. This is the latest immersive experience making its debut at Artechouse, an innovative digital art space.

The stunning multisensory show takes visitors on a "dizzying journey through the endless geometric patterns of fractal worlds." Original soundtracks by Michael Stearns and David Levy accompany breathtaking imagery.

Geometric Properties is open to all ages and will be available for viewing from March 1 to September 6, 2021.

Talking Heads on Broad Street

85 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan is now home to two new light sculptures. Hungarian artist Viktor Vicchek created the work "Talking Heads". It consists of two 21-foot (6,4 m) heads, illuminated by 4 LEDs. When the heads communicate, the light changes, which creates different facial expressions.

City on the ceiling

On the ceiling above the 31st Street entrance to the new Moynihan train station, the artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset has set a fantastic upside-down cityscape. It is inspired by the iconic buildings of New York and other cities around the world. The illuminated structures, hanging from the ceiling like stalactites, weigh a lot, but seem weightless.

72 LEDs illuminate buildings up to nine feet (000 m) high. The sculptural composition will be one of the first things to be seen by LIRR and Amtrak passengers entering the new station hall.

Eagle in Brooklyn

The Vudo Fee installation in Brooklyn features a flying eagle in bright colors. It is a 20-foot (6 m) wide pattern on a construction fence in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, at the intersection of Fulton and Downing Streets. The hand-drawn mural is designed to "depict the diversity of the world, inspiring us to overcome all difficulties."

Vudo Fee, a renowned local artist in the Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy neighborhoods, used bright colors in his murals to inspire the community. He hopes the mural will spread the “healing effect of art”.

Huge sculptures at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza

Five monumental sculptures by artist Jim Rennert, over 12,5 feet (3,8 m) high, have been installed in the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. Rennert's work explores the physical and psychological problems of the competitive corporate world.

You can find the sculptures at the entrance to Broadway, which will be on display until 2022. Three other sculptures are located in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on East 47th Street and will be on view until August 2021.

Video art installation "Light Year"

One of the largest outdoor video art installations in New York will be projected on the Manhattan Bridge every first Thursday of the month from sunset until 22:00 pm.

You can also watch the broadcast of the installation in Facebook Live from 14:00 to 22:00 on the scheduled day.

Graffiti wall

The work was designed by the artist Raul Ayala, and the graffiti was created by a team of ten young artists.

The new mural on the Bowery graffiti wall, located on Houston Street between Bowery and Elizabeth Streets, includes numerous portraits of various figures with many details, as well as a marine folk theme with mythical creatures.

King Nyani at Hudson Park

The largest bronze gorilla statue in the world has arrived in New York. The statue is intended to raise awareness of the endangered species of mountain gorillas, of which there are only about 1000 remaining worldwide, and to change the perception of gorillas among New Yorkers. Rather than terrorizing New York City atop the Empire State Building, this gorilla will give free hugs to all New Yorkers who want it. In fact, its giant arms are designed to hold 2 to 3 people at the same time.

The movie "Argument" will be shown in cinemas in New York

Christopher Nolan's picturesque thriller will finally see the light of day in cinemas in New York, writes NYDailyNews.

For the first time since the pandemic has postponed screenings in the United States, Tenet will be shown in theaters in New York this weekend (March 5-7).

On Friday, March 5th, a film starring John David Washington, Robert Pattinson and Kenneth Branagh will finally hit the big screen.

The film will be screened in several AMC locations, including Times Square, Village East by Angelika and Showcase Cinemas in Queens.

Due to the many delays caused by the pandemic, the Warner Bros. Pictures was released online on August 12 and grossed over $ 353 million worldwide. It is already available in streaming and Blu-ray / DVD formats.

Nolan, whose previous films include the Oscar-winning Dunkirk, Inception and Interstellar, was among the titans of the film industry who personally approached New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to reopen movie theaters.
