" Our experts're extremely thrilled to have the system of the advertising board at 18th Street once again after virtually a years," Alemani stated in a declaration. "The advertising board layout permits the High Line Craft course to offer sizable, very visible two-dimensional arts pieces in a more receptive amount of time than various other installations.".
She proceeded, "It's a large canvass for musicians to present big scale works obvious both from the High Line and also from the road level. The cutting message of [Untitled (America/Me)] locates revitalized resonance in the present political moment.".
The previous iteration of High Line Craft's advertising board commission flew 2010 through 2015, and also exhibited jobs by John Baldessari, Faith Ringgold, and Louise Lawler, to name a few performers. Due to the fact that September 2023, the company has actually also organized billboard commission on one such establishment on Dyer Avenue in between 30th as well as 31st Streets, almost the High Pipe.
Ligon's Untitled (America/Me), too, is actually a brand-new version of an aged suggestion. He reworked his iconic 2008 fluorescent Untitled, which initially stretched some 14 feet all over, and included the word "THE United States" in quivering fluorescent letters-- a salute to the cautious positive outlook of the 1st Obama administration. The High Pipe part is actually even more vital of the relationship in between a personal and nation: thick dark X's have been actually attracted over just about every character of "United States"-- leaving behind just the are actually' as well as 'E' apparent.
In a statement, Ligon reflected on his work: "Coating is a material. Language is actually a material. Fluorescent is a component. I have an interest in playing with that expression [" United States"] as material. So to traverse it out, to invert it, to place it inverted or to make it blink on and off obnoxiously is all a technique of playing with this term that our team believe we all know what it suggests.".
