In the loop
Brooklyn’s Front Yard has gone full
circle!
An enormous metal art installation
popped up on the edge of Brooklyn Bridge
Park’s Pier 3 last week. The piece, titled
“New York Clearing,” is made up of 11
miles of aluminum tubing, coiled into gigantic
shining loops that stretch up to 50
feet high against the Manhattan skyline.
Those tightly-coiled rings are an “energy
field” that stands in sharp contrast to the
rectangular shapes of that distant isle, said
its creator.
“I am enormously excited about the opportunity
of making this energy field in
conversation with Manhattan across the
waters of the East River,” said artist Antony
at Coffey Street, Red Hook.

Gormley. “It can be seen as an evocation
of human connectivity, a materialization
of the energy of the people that view
it and the people that made it.”
Gormley has created similar “Clearing”
projects in the past, but this is the
largest, the first to be displayed outdoors,
and the first to be built without architectural
support, he said.
The piece was produced with funding
from the South Korean boy band BTS, as
part of its “Connect BTS” project.
