#DefendDACA: Donald Trump announced that he is repealing the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which allows immigrants who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. Many undocumented minors will be at risk of being deported to a country they know nothing about. New York, a city of immigrants, showed up at Foley Square to stand with immigrants and defend DACA.
The Stunning ‘Found’ Mixed Media Sculptures of Kris Kuksi
The
painstakingly gathered model kit pieces, injection molded orphans,
bric-a-brac and knick knacks, figurines, jewelry and plastic animals
congeal into a re-imagined frieze, a macabre amalgam, that reveals,
confronts, and provokes a viewer’s belief system by re imagining familiar
narratives into new contexts.The sculpture hangs on the wall: a
sprawling world, a warning, a revelation, a vision of a collective
soul. From afar, the composition is what is striking, formally balanced,
playful yet contained and graceful. It beckons, drawing the viewer into
its tangle of meaning, history unfolding in its depths and reverence
discovered within the assortment of invented iconography.
