Unlike those, she wears everyday clothes, her stance a subtle nod to Michelangelo\u2019s David.<\/p>\n
The statue of the woman was woven from observations, images and open calls that happened across New York, Los Angeles and London.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alongside the massive sculpture, passerby should on the lookout for another work by Price, this one on display across the neighborhood’s screens. “Man Series,”\u00a0stop-motion animations set to play on billboards nightly in May, also involves a sculptural installation that “foregrounds the intrinsic value of the individual and amplifies traditionally marginalized bodies on a monumental scale.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTimes Square stands as an iconic symbol and site of convergence, uniting people from all walks of life, individual stories and experiences intersecting on a global platform,”\u00a0said\u00a0Price in an official statement. “The intention of my public works is to become part of the place they inhabit and its physical, material history, as well as the visitors that pass through and around the location, no matter how fleeting. I hope ‘Grounded in the Stars’ and ‘Man Series’ will instigate meaningful connections and bind intimate emotional states that allow for deeper reflection around the human condition and greater cultural diversity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If there was ever a reason to trek to Times Square, this is it: a massive, 12-foot tall…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3939],"tags":[2606,4021,4020,13721,4022,77,13717,13712,13714,26143,13720,13722,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-77816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-art","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-categories-art","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-good-for-good-for-locals","15":"tag-good-for-good-for-tourists","16":"tag-good-for-vibe-outdoors","17":"tag-good-for-vibe-quirky","18":"tag-holidays-spring","19":"tag-news-art","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
