Say it big… Honey, I Twisted Through More Damn Traffic Today, Ed Ruscha, May 2014 – May 2015, adjacent to the High Line at West 22nd Street, New York. Ruscha presents his first-ever public commission in New York, a large-scale work hand-painted by a professional mural company on the side of an apartment building adjacent to the High Line at West 22nd Street. One of his few public art works ever realized, Ruscha’s mural combines his interests in architecture, language, and public space to create a dry and humorous commentary on life in the contemporary metropolis. Camouflaged in the architecture surrounding the High Line, Ruscha’s giant street sign reads like a speech bubble emanating directly from the streets of New York – a collective thought balloon hovering on the High Line like a silent soundtrack for a new symphony of the city. Photographs by Timothy Schenck. Public art— a very good thing…
