New York, NY, April 27, 2011 - Beginning at 8:00 p.m. on May 7, Flash:Light will transform Mulberry Street, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the facade of the New Museum into a spectacular nighttime environment of temporary, site-specific public art. An artist-driven antidote to light-based advertising and the sterilization of public space, the event represents a new platform for artists working in light, sound, performance, and projection art to present groundbreaking work that re-imagines an iconic New York City neighborhood.
An initiative of Nuit Blanche New York, Flash:Light is a featured project of the New Museum’s Festival of Ideas for the New City, a bold initiative for artists, architects, technologists, designers and other thought leaders to exchange ideas, propose solutions and invite the public to participate in improving urban life.
