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
