Currently installed at 99 Church Street in Manhattan, Maya Barkai has created pubic installation featuring 99 traffic light icons from around the world. The project, dubbed Walking Men, is being presented in conjunction with the re:construction program by the Alliance for Downtown NY and Artea Projects. The installation covers the wall surrounding a construction site in downtown Manhattan, recreating each cross walk symbol in human scale. Included in the piece are icons from Tel Aviv, Vancouver, Florence, Beirut, Utrecht and of course the Big Apple. The piece was curated by Ayelet Danielle Aldouby and Elinor Milchan and will be on display until January 15th, 2011.
