How Jeffrey Gibson reimagines the intersection of Central Park and Fifth Avenue
In short: Artist Jeffrey Gibson and curator Sara Reisman discuss the creative process, the resilience of nature, and the installation of four figurative sculptures on The Met facade. This conversation offers insight into how art bridges the gap between urban environments and the natural world.
The discussion centers on the Genesis Facade Commission, titled The Animal That Therefore I Am. By placing four figurative sculptures on the exterior of The Met, Gibson creates a dialogue between the museum, the bustling urban landscape of Fifth Avenue, and the nearby greenery of Central Park.
Beyond the installation, the pair examines the evolving nature of artistic practice. They explore how curiosity and a deep respect for the adaptability of the natural world influence the way artists process complex, interconnected relationships in their work.
