I happened to walk past Lincoln Center while running errands this morning and was happily surprised by what I saw. Colorful aluminum creatures and contorted shapes beckoned from the plaza around the Revson Fountain. I soon learned that the 14 monumental sculptures were created by LA based artist Aaron Curry and the entire installation is called "Melt to Earth." The sculptures are very cool, adding an interesting dialogue between the more traditional arts setting and the contemporary, streetwise contours of the sculptural structures . I saw all ages interacting with the sculptures in a variety of ways, even the fountain seemed to play with their fluid designs and fantastical shapes. Every time I looked at any of the sculptures I saw something different: faces, animals, plants, shapes morphing into other shapes; the sculptures seem to have a "not from this planet" kind of vibe that really adds a unique character to the the whole Lincoln Center complex. Encountering something surprising and fun is one of the things I love best about living in NYC. I never would have expected to see these sculptures in Lincoln Center but I'm very pleased that they are installed there. "Melt to Earth" will be up until January 2013 so if you have a chance to visit, go and check this installation out.
