Your sneak peek at Figment 2009 art
We are just one week away from FIGMENT, and tomorrow, our artists will begin installing their work on Governors Island. The only way to experience the art and performance at FIGMENT is to come out and interact with it, but we wanted to give you the opportunity to see what awaits.
And as part of our commitment to you, FIGMENT is completely free, open to the public, and devoid of any corporate sponsorship. We urge you to help spread the word by forwarding this email around, or by inviting people via Facebook at http://tinyurl.com/FigmentFB
FIGMENT 2009: June 12 – 14
Next weekend, over 300 art pieces, performances, and projects will be live on Governors Island… and we expect well over 10,000 New Yorkers to join us to engage in FIGMENT. We invite participants to bring art, costumes, toys, games, and other activities… but all you really need is your willingness to participate (and maybe a picnic lunch and water!). You can take full advantage of FIGMENT by just wandering around, or you can view a schedule and map in advance on our website: http://figmentnyc.org/2009/figment-2009/figment-2009-event-june-12-14/
CITY OF DREAMS SCULPTURE GARDEN: June 12 – October 11
For the first time, FIGMENT is hosting a season-long Interactive Sculpture Garden. With 17 large-scale interactive pieces, we expect tens of thousands of visitors to Governors Island this summer to come away with an expanded view of art and openness to creative freedom. We invite you to check out the sculpture descriptions and artistic renderings on our website at: http://figmentnyc.org/2009/figment-2009/city-of-dreams-season-long-interactive-sculpture/
CITY OF DREAMS MINI-GOLF COURSE: June 12 – October 11
Last year’s artistic mini-golf course was a huge success… and this year FIGMENT is doubling its size! The mini-golf course will include 18 holes, each unique and designed by emerging artists. In the City of Dreams, you won’t find a traffic light or a windmill, but instead can try your aim on an electric guitar, venus flytrap, or (for the less coordinated among us) have instant success with “Hole-in-1.” But before you tee off, you may want to look at the mini-golf holes being premiered during the FIGMENT event on June 12th: http://figmentnyc.org/2009/figment-2009/city-of-dreams-minigolf-course/
