Deets: New Yorkers and visitors will have something big to talk about starting March 10 when multi-disciplinary artist Charlotte Colbert’s massive 30-foot tall steel sculptures land in NYC. ‘Chasing Rainbows’, the two-site installation across Manhattan’s Flatiron NoMad neighborhood and the Meatpacking District marks the global premiere of these 30-foot works and Colbert’s first U.S. public art presentation.
Installed in high-traffic, open-air pedestrian plazas, the scale, reflective material of the steel, and the surrealist depictions are intended to juxtapose childlike imagination with the monolithic proportions of Manhattan. Drawing on archetypal symbols and fairy tales, “Chasing Rainbows” invites passersby to pause, and look up with wonder in a shared, public experience.
The exhibition is curated by public art agency, New Public, in partnership with NYC Department of Transportation Art program, the Meatpacking District Management Association, and Flatiron NoMad Partnership, and celebrated art figure Simon de Pury.
