What: “New World Wailing Wall”, a site-specific sculptural installation
Who: Cynthia Scott
Where: 2761 Dreux, Gentilly/New Orleans
When: Unveiling Sunday Dec 7th, 2-5 pm * Work is open to the public
AORTA Projects is pleased to announce the unveiling of sculptor Cynthia Scott’s “New World Wailing Wall”. Erected on a vacant concrete slab in Gentilly, “New World Wailing Wall” is comprised of both salvaged and new steel, joined with shimmering plastic strips which catch and reflect sunlight as water does. This installation signifies the precariousness of life in the Gulf South and also functions as a memorial for the lives lost in the levee breaks of 2005, many in this Gentilly neighbourhood. “New World Wailing Wall” also aims to deliver a warning to residents of other regions that protective infrastructure everywhere is crumbling, with potentially disastrous results.
“New World Wailing Wall” will be unveiled Sunday Dec 7th from 2–5 pm, light refreshments compliments of Whole Foods and Fairgrinds Coffeehouse will be served. Please visit www.aortaprojects.blogspot.com for further information and feel free to contact us with any questions:
