WORDS ON MY WORK

 

NY A/V

“Like Italo Calvino’s Marco Polo describing Venice in which ever-changing worlds coexist… NY A/V revels in the simultaneous and conflicting stories that make up a city.”

– Ronit Einstenbach, architect, installation artist and professor

 

“Indebted to performance art, happenings, and street theater, NY A/V created chance encounters between the past and the present, and framed the temporal disjunctions of life on Broadway.”

– Installations by Architects

 

“Michael Arad was intrigued by what he called the ‘derive wagon,’ after the Situationist practice of ‘drifting’ through the city without realizing boundaries. ‘it feels very personal, a subjective way of reconstructing memory.’ “

– I.D. Magazine

 

“One of a host of Calvino-and-Borges-fueled mapping projects, but what’s remarkable about this one is that it was actually produced.”

– Lindy Roy, architect

 

Sun Shelter

 

“The jurors lauded such socially aware designs as Hecker-Skinner’s simple rope sun shelter proposal for Manhattan’s Hudson River waterfront… grounded in real and, as Sterling said, ‘humane’ needs.”

– I.D. Magazine

 

“It works simultaneously as public art, architecture and installation” 

– David Sterling, designer, art director, and chef – I.D. Magazine

 

“Good functional sculpture, an elaborate Christo installation”

– Ken Krayer, designer

 

“Here someone has taken waterfront vocabulary and achieved something on this really big scale, almost like urban planning.”

– William Drenttel, designer

 

“In a low key way, it’s beautiful”

– Lorraine Wild, designer and educator

 

Small Environments

 

“I was drawn to the refreshing smallness of the ambition and the attention to something miraculous. There is something so amazing about a sprouting seed.”

– Janet Abrams, design critic, editor and independent producer, educator
