Presented by No Longer Empty in partnership with Broadway Housing Communities, If You Build It features a range of artwork in different media by more than twenty local, national, and international artists. Located at 155th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue in Sugar Hill on a site designed by architect David Adjaye, the exhibit — along with an impressive array of events and programs — continues through August 10. Here is a sampling of the artworks that can be seen on the site’s grounds and in future apartments:
Rául Ayala, A Blaze of Glory
Moses Ros-Suárez, seated on sculpture he fashioned — one of four structural models of bridges
Carlos Mare aka Mare139, 8th FreeStyle Archityper
Radcliffe Bailey, From the Cabinet: Fire Music — fashioned with recycled piano keys
Scherezade García, Cathedral/Catedral, made up of stacked inner tubes/life savers ‘dipped’ in gold paint “so as to resemble a temporary alter or monument to immigrants and their aspirations”
Brendan Jamison and Mark Revels, Sugar Metropolis — composed with half a million sugar cubes
The exhibit is open Thursday–Friday 3–7pm & Saturday–Sunday 1–6pm & Wednesday by appointment.
