The Drop NYC: WORDS

The DROP NYC: Urban Art Infill was word heavy; conceptual artists exploring the dichotomies between the urban and the environment braced the words peace, luck, emotional connection, heart, world, one kind, ice and zero carbon alluding to the theme of the exhibition 2012 +

As the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012+, a certain sense of impending urgency is represented by this number when coupled with the current global realities of climate change. And what is felt locally and individually can potently highlight our participation within a global society. Yet the symbol 2012+ is also a call to contemplate and seek possibilities to envision what can be.
