Revolutionary Goddesses of NYC

As part of Tri­an­gle Arts’ first Gov­er­nors Island res­i­den­cy exhi­bi­tion of the sea­son, Res­i­dent Artist Fel­low Ariel Klein­berg presents a large-scale mur­al instal­la­tion, on view every Sat­ur­day and Sun­day, 11am-5pm, through the month of May. 

The mur­al depicts a trans­for­ma­tive scene from a com­ic by the artist, inspired by the alle­gor­i­cal sculp­tures that adorn the build­ings around City Hall. In this sto­ry, pro­test­ers use spray paint to give life to these stone god­dess­es, who rep­re­sent virtues such as Jus­tice, Equal­i­ty, Lib­er­ty, Truth, and Peace, so that they can join the rev­o­lu­tion and trans­form the city into a paradise.
