It’s been a busy past few days on East First Street in the East Village, as eight artists have been refashioning the now-famous trailer just outside the First Street Green Park. Here are a few images captured from Centre-fuge Public Art Project‘s tenth cycle:

From quirky sculptures to vibrant murals, the Manhattan’s High Line and its immediate environs have it all. Here’s a sampling of what we captured this past week:
London-based Gilbert & George, Waking
NYC-based George Condo, Liquor Store Attendant
NYC-based Jordan Betten, Lady Luck

She stands only five feet tall, but her artwork is monumental. Thirty-four-year old Orly Genger has fashioned 1.4 million feet of lobster-fishing rope into three surging and ebbing sculptures on three separate lawns in Madison Square Park. I passed them by chance earlier this week in an area of town I only occasionally visit, and I was mesmerized. The installation continues through September 8 in NYC and will then travel to the deCordova Sculpture Park in Massachusetts.
