Sa “This weekend we took a long walk along the Hudson river.”
Mo “Yea spent a lot of time next to the water. Saw lots of
people and a really big shiny bird.”
Sa “Yes that is what we are going to talk about this week.”
Mo “Oh, I do know one thing that these are not the same
statues that were here last time. So did the other ones get eaten like a hot
dog?”
Sa “What? No. No one would eat a sculpture.”
Mo “Then what happened to them.”
Sa “Well for that we need a small history lesson.”
Mo “I don’t think I will ever learn.”
Sa “Let us go back to 1967. When New York City decided to
show it had a commitment to public art.”
Mo “So people got together to make sure all us dogs could
get to see some of the works of art.”
Sa “Sort of. Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs who
were then one agency organized the group outdoor exhibit Sculpture in
Environment. Their intent was not only to have dogs see these works but to use
public space as an outdoor museum, letting works of art loose in the city, to
set them under the light of day where they intrude upon human and dogs daily
walks and errands.”
Mo “What does that have to do with the statues changing?”
Sa “The Art Student League of New York city in 2011 started
placing different students works of art out on a yearly basis.”
Mo “Hmmm. I wonder what will come out next year.”
Sa “We will just have to wait and see.”
MoSa “And for all those humans who
