"By installing my sculpture Vertical Highways V03 in front of Rockefeller Center, I want to initiate a dialogue of art and architecture that resonates with the urban history of New York City."
"Detaching everyday objects and materials from their initial function... the artist is able to tap into broader conceptual themes. Through the use of color, bending, and compositional arrangement, objects that once evoked ideas around regulation, barriers, and the restriction of movement now evoke fluidity, evolution, and change."
"Its international series of outings further compounds the underlying concepts interrogated by Pousttchi, such as the dissolving of boundaries and borders, and the architectural and cultural exchange that is possible through art."
Vertical Highways V03, a monumental sculpture by Bettina Pousttchi, is made from roadway guardrails and located at Rockefeller Center. The work reflects on urban history and initiates dialogue between art and architecture. Pousttchi's approach detaches everyday objects from their functions, transforming barriers into symbols of fluidity and change. The sculpture has been exhibited internationally, reinforcing themes of dissolving boundaries and cultural exchange. It aligns with the Rockefeller Center public art program's mission to foster creative dialogues in public spaces.
