Park Avenue Armory
643 Park Avenue, New York, NY
December 5, 2012 - January 6, 2013
Hours and Location

In being alone (on a swing) together (in a field), we find a condition of the social that is... the event of a thread. This new work fills the Armory's Drill Hall with a visceral and literal poetic. Set into motion by visitors, a field of swings, a massive white cloth, a flock of homing pigeons, spoken and written texts, and transmissions of weight, sound, and silence weave through this expansive space to create a fabric of experience.

Season Sponsor

the event of a thread is sponsored, in part, by Lincolnshire Management, and in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

Support for Park Avenue Armory’s artistic season has been generously provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, The Shubert Foundation, the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, the Marc Haas Foundation, and The Charles Evans Foundation.
