"The sculptures are designed to contrast Manhattan's monumental architecture with imagery drawn from fairy tales, archetypal symbols and dreamlike storytelling. Their polished steel surfaces will reflect the surrounding city while their whimsical forms invite pedestrians to pause-and maybe look up from their phones for a minute."
"On Tuesday, March 10, multimedia artist Charlotte Colbert will debut Chasing Rainbows, a two-part public art installation spanning Flatiron and the Meatpacking District. Each sculpture stands a staggering 30 feet tall and is constructed from reflective steel-large enough to command attention even in a city that's used to skyscrapers."
"This marks the first time two New York City Business Improvement Districts (the Flatiron NoMad Partnership and the Meatpacking District Management Association) have collaborated with the NYC DOT Art Program on a public installation linking two separate neighborhoods."
Multimedia artist Charlotte Colbert presents Chasing Rainbows, a two-part public art installation debuting March 10 across Manhattan. The first sculpture, Dreamland Sirens, stands at Flatiron South Plaza at 23rd Street and Broadway. The second, Where Angels Live, appears at West 14th Street and Ninth Avenue in the Meatpacking District. Each towering structure reaches 30 feet tall and features polished reflective steel surfaces. The sculptures incorporate imagery from fairy tales, archetypal symbols, and dreamlike storytelling, creating visual contrast with Manhattan's architectural landscape. This marks the first collaboration between two NYC Business Improvement Districts with the NYC DOT Art Program, linking separate neighborhoods through public art.
