“Human Nature” by Ugo Rondinone is a project of the Public Art Fund. The artist installed nine colossal stone figures in New York’s Rockefeller Plaza between 49th and 50th Streets. The figures are between 16 to 20 feet tall and the largest weighs 30,000 lbs. And on this rainy day there was a gathering of the umbrella people among the stone giants.

Video from Ugo Rondinone’s talk at The New School is up!

Sit back, watch and listen as the artist walks us through his 2010 exhibition at Aargauer Kunsthaus, Switzerland, “Die Nacht aus Blei (The Night of Lead).”

TIP: A special treat awaits at 36:24, we recommend you experience the audio piece as we did and listen with the lights off, in complete darkness.

This morning, we previewed a pair of Paul McCarthy shows at both of Hauser & Wirth’s New York City locations.

Seen here are highlights from Paul McCarthy: Sculptures, on view at the 18th Street location through June 1, 2013. Included in the show is a recent series of black walnut wood sculptures depicting characters from the tale of Snow White.
