Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:57:55 EDT Terra-fic Garden: Yegam Art Space is pleased to present Eco Friendly Art Project : Terra-fic Garden, new and recent workst of three artists, Jongil Ma, Youngmi Kim and Sisun Song.The show focuses on the social functions of art and how art should take a role in a social and cultural way for the public.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:33:50 EDT The Jack Cole Project: A world dance premiere musical. $42, $49.

Frank Baum is most immediately associated with his legendary work The Wizard of Oz, the author is one of the most prolific writers to date. Following the success of Oz, Baum would go on to write the charming underwater adventure The Sea Fairies, published in 1911. Though one of Baum’s more obscure titles, it came to the attention of playwright and director Jack Dyville and writing partner John Stutte, who were inspired to adapt the novel into a children’s musical. The Mermaids’ Tale, which opens the Children’s Repertory Series at Secret Theatre later this month, promises to be a magical, musical adventure for both children and adults. Dyville says “the play has morphed a lot since its premiere in 2011”, with the show becoming even more “interactive and child-friendly.” $10 kids, $15 Adults, $40 Family.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Wed, 4 Apr 2012 15:00:00 EDT Ernie Kovacs Retrospective: This retrospective coincides with two milestones in the performers’ careers.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity.

According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Wed, 4 Apr 2012 15:00:00 EDT Ernie Kovacs Retrospective: This retrospective coincides with two milestones in the performers’ careers.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Tue, 1 May 2012 12:22:05 EDT Industry/Cinema: The installation Industry/Cinema is a split-screen work that juxtaposes images from industrial films and popular films made between 1896 and 1991.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:51:24 EDT Cartoon exhibit: Animation. a 6,000 square exhibit features characters from the Cartoon Network, including larger than life graphics, animation from concept to finished product, storyboarding, character design and drawing. $11 ($8 children 2-17, college students and seniors. 9:30 am–5 pm.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:51:24 EDT Cartoon exhibit: Animation. a 6,000 square exhibit features characters from the Cartoon Network, including larger than life graphics, animation from concept to finished product, storyboarding, character design and drawing. $11 ($8 children 2-17, college students and seniors. 9:30 am–5 pm.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Thu, 5 Apr 2012 12:16:41 EDT Fleamarket: Outdoor event, new and used items.

He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel.

Frank Baum is most immediately associated with his legendary work The Wizard of Oz, the author is one of the most prolific writers to date. Following the success of Oz, Baum would go on to write the charming underwater adventure The Sea Fairies, published in 1911. Though one of Baum’s more obscure titles, it came to the attention of playwright and director Jack Dyville and writing partner John Stutte, who were inspired to adapt the novel into a children’s musical. The Mermaids’ Tale, which opens the Children’s Repertory Series at Secret Theatre later this month, promises to be a magical, musical adventure for both children and adults. Dyville says “the play has morphed a lot since its premiere in 2011”, with the show becoming even more “interactive and child-friendly.” $10 kids, $15 Adults, $40 Family.

He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Mon, 7 May 2012 13:33:23 EDT Civic Action: Opening reception May 13.

He also considers these questions with a special focus on The New York Times and the inside story of its attempt to navigate the new world of news today, embracing the speed of news on the internet without straying from its commitment to the accurate reporting and in-depth analysis that make the newspaper of special value in this new environment. $6 donation requested. 1:30 pm.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity.

Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:03:27 EDT Animation: Cartoons come to life at the New York Hall of Science during Animation, a 6,000-square-foot exhibition featuring characters from the Cartoon Network.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:03:27 EDT Animation: Cartoons come to life at the New York Hall of Science during Animation, a 6,000-square-foot exhibition featuring characters from the Cartoon Network.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Mon, 7 May 2012 13:33:23 EDT Civic Action: Opening reception May 13.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Mon, 7 May 2012 13:33:23 EDT Civic Action: Opening reception May 13.

Bollinger made significant waves in the late 1960s, challenging the limits of sculpture and expanding thought regarding concept, materiality, and commodity. His works were made from primarily pre-fabricated industrial supplies, such as sawhorses, oil drums, rubber tubing and cyclone fence. Focusing on the gesture of construction and the physical limits of material, Bollinger’s work addressed ideas of gravity, balance and material nature. According to him his interests lay not ‘in the aesthetics of form but in the fact of form’. He frequently used water for as a material, transforming it into something sculptural with mass and form as it fills a plastic hose or a steel barrel. Bollinger summed up his attitude to the making of his work: ‘It is all very easy to execute, does not exist until it has been executed, ceases to exist when it has been taken down.’ Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718-956-1819, www.socratesscultpurepark.org ]]> http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254http://www.timesledger.com/sections/go/events/43254 Tue, 1 May 2012 12:22:05 EDT Industry/Cinema: The installation Industry/Cinema is a split-screen work that juxtaposes images from industrial films and popular films made between 1896 and 1991.
