Dozens of Tom Otterness’s tiny cartoonish figures populate "The Real World" at Rockefeller Park. Watch as the artist demonstrates how he created the work and speaks about how he refers to class struggles while making "The Real World" a space for people of all ages to reflect and play.
BPCA manages a world-renowned 20th and 21st century collection of large-scale sculptures and environmental installations integrated with its 92-acre, residential lower Manhattan neighborhood’s parks and plazas. With curatorial and maintenance responsibilities for both permanent and temporary art installations, artists have been commissioned since the 1980’s through competitive selection processes and with advisement from curators and art experts of diverse backgrounds and specializations.
Inspired by informal conversations with the artists, and by the visitors who regularly engage with this world-famous art in our parks, the BPCA Presents: Public Art on Video series explores public art in Battery Park City’s urban landscape and the impact of experiencing art without walls.
