MOBILE ART PARK
Wandering through the city or a city wandering?
The Roosevelt Island Universal Arts Center is conceived of as a network of floating barges. Inheriting the island’s history of landfill, the barges gather together to form a Mobile Art Park, filling the site with a vibrant community of artists and art enthusiasts.
A Performative Graphic Landscape= ART+Leisure+Nature
The barges form a migrating network that extends throughout the regional waters of New York’s five boroughs and beyond. Linking together in multiple combinations, the barges accommodate different events at the scale of the entire Southpoint site. Dispersed throughout the city, the barges bridge culturally disparate enclaves with the vibrant communities of artists already thriving in the city.
The Mobile Art Park addresses the issue of accessibility as cultural inclusion — aiming to maximize access to the world of art and facilitate the incorporation of art into everyday life.
