Claudia Wieser: Rehearsal
Public Art Fund, 2021
First outdoor sculptural installation by German artist Claudia Wieser. Each of the five forms differs in size, shape, and pattern, and combines painted, photographic, and mirrored details to create vibrant compositions that highlight the dynamism of the city and its people. Clustered at the iconic vista where the Manhattan Bridge frames the Empire State Building, Wieser’s Rehearsal serves as both a meeting place and a theatrical set that hearkens back to ancient Roman forums—public spaces for assembly, interaction, and the exchange of ideas. Inviting both exploration and reflection, Wieser offers a moment to immerse ourselves and play a role in her mesmerizing sculptural installation.
