Jeanette Hayes
OFF THE WALL
Media: Wall Mural
Location: Hudson Yards, New York City
Year: 2019
For OFF THE WALL, Hayes reflected the specific locale of her work, juxtaposing the contemporary architecture of Hudson Yards with an Albert Bierstadt painting from 1868. This painting is an archetype of the Hudson River School, an artistic movement from the 19th century that reflected on discovery, exploration and settlement along the Hudson River. Hayes sees an alignment of this with the vision of Hudson Yards: for a new era of community, culture, and commerce. The artist also incorporates viewer participation, with hidden QR codes embedded into her work. The infinite vastness of possibility that those artists saw in nature, Hayes sees in architecture, contemporary art and technology- all of these elements being congruent to the sublime. - Culture Corps
