Public Art + Architecture New York Photographs by Francis Dzikowski from Public Art New York On view at the Center for Architecture Opening April 17, 2009 New York, NY - Join us at the Center for Architecture for the Public Art + Architecture New York Exhibition Opening. Starting at 6:00pm on Friday, April 17, 2009, the exhibition will feature photographs by Francis Dzikowski from the new Jean Parker Phifer book Public Art New York. The images, on view through May 9, represent the wide variety of works of public art in the five boroughs of New York City. Illustrating that public art consists not only of monumental sculpture in outdoor plazas but also decorative sidewalks, sculpted facades, and evocative lighting, Public Art New York broadens the dialogue on how art can complement and enrich architecture and public space. From Coney Island’s Parachute Jump, to Dubuffet’s Groupe des Quatre Arbres in Chase Manhattan Plaza, to James Carpenter’s “Ice Falls” in the lobby of the Hearst Building, these photos reveal the magnificent range and richness of the works that enliven the New York urban landscape and are accessible for all to enjoy. Kent L. Barwick noted in his introduction to the book, “These striking photographs of both the new and what we thought familiar remind us of the ever-changing and compelling landscape we are so lucky to inhabit and so rarely take the time to see.” The Center for Architecture will host a related panel, also titled Public Art + Architecture New York, on Monday, April 20, 6:00-8:00pm. Panelists will discuss recent New York buildings that have seamlessly integrated public art with architecture, fusing the artist's vision into the architectural design. Participants include artist James Carpenter of James Carpenter Design Associates, architect Todd Schliemann of the Polshek Partnership, and David Thurm, Vice President for Operations at The New York Times. Jean Parker Phifer FAIA, author of Public Art New York, will serve as moderator. Public Art New York Book Public Art New York by Jean Parker Phifer FAIA was published by W.W. Norton in March 2009. Francis Dzikowski is represented by Esto. The Helfand Spotlight Series highlights competitions, projects under construction, and projects recently completed that will have a far-reaching impact on New York City’s built environment. Projects are exhibited as a means of generating public interest as well as presenting in-depth information to the Center’s professional audience. This spotlight will be on view through May 9, 2009.

We are dedicated to three goals: design excellence, public outreach, and professional development. The Chapter's members include more than 4,000 practicing architects, allied professionals, students, and public members interested in architecture and design. To fulfill its mission, the Chapter sponsors an array of programs, usually held at the Center for Architecture, that explore the role of architects in housing, planning, historic preservation, and urban design among other topics, as well as our annual Design Awards Program for architecture, interior architecture and unrealized projects. In addition, the Chapter publishes a magazine, OCULUS, coordinates 24 committees and works with its charitable affiliate the Center for Architecture Foundation to provide scholarship and educational opportunities for students and the general public.
