Art on the Plaza 6: Ugo Rondinoe, Air Gets Into Everything...<br />
New York, 2006<br />

Fabric<strong>at</strong>ed in aluminum and co<strong>at</strong>ed in white enamel, Ugo Rondinone’s sculptures<br />
for the sixth Art on the Plaza—Cre<strong>at</strong>ive Time’s series of outdoor sculpture<br />
commissions for The Ritz-Carlton in B<strong>at</strong>tery Park City—were cast from oilve trees<br />
found outside Naples, Italy. By introducing metallic casts of this ancient and<br />
fabled tree to Lower Manh<strong>at</strong>tan’s modern, concrete metropolis, Rondinone explored<br />
themes of time, displacement and the rel<strong>at</strong>ionship between n<strong>at</strong>ural and<br />
artificial environments.<br />
Rondinone titled the sculptures with an original short poem: air gets into everything<br />
even nothing and get up girl a sun is running the world. And come winter, his white<br />
tree sculptures just as poetically complemented New York City’s snowy landscape.
