The 'Wandering Sukkah' Art Project is Touring NYC To Give People 'A Moment of Urban Respite'
Days before Sukkot, as it sat temporarily lodged in the garden of Invisible Dog Gallery, an art space in Brooklyn, New York, spectators were marveling at a magnificent multi-hued sculpture—a construction of dibond (an aluminum concoction), vinyl and wood, complete with a prismatic bodice and spliced edges. It stood eight-and-a-half-feet tall, its dimensions stretching up like a Manhattan high-rise.
“What is it?” spectators asked aloud, innocently enough, as they circled it with curious finesse. At first glance, I couldn’t fathom the origins—or purpose—of such a strange looking object, either.
