REOPENS THIS WEEKEND…..Shantell Martin creates a labyrinthine installation spanning the floors and walls of the building that act as a place of both quiet reprieve and shared discussion. To expand on her monumental work Church, which transformed the façade of Our Lady Star of the Sea, Martin now reimagines the interior of this former chapel built in 1942 with her signature black-and-white line drawings. Custom-built furniture in the shape of letters that can be arranged to spell out words will dot the floor of the space, allowing visitors to move and interact with the work. The building’s nave, which has been closed to the public since 1996, will be restored as part of Martin’s project.
May YOU Enjoy, May you find your peace, May you be happy, May we be more compassionate, May we be kind, May YOU walk the path.” A new space at Governors Island where the artist created a labyrinthine installation spanning the floors and walls of the building, acting as a place of both quiet reprieve and shared discussion.
