Amidst the summer heat, the rink at Rockefeller Center is now a swimming pool. Well, a sort of swimming pool.
Until July 21st, explore artist Joel Mesler’s newest public art exhibit, a printed vinyl “pool” that has taken over Rockefeller Center. Mesler was inspired to create this fun interactive installation by memories of childhood pool parties, and used his signature water motif as the pool, a design that appears in many of his art pieces.
Flanked by flags and props, which read with joyful phrases such as “hope,” “love,” “hugs,” and “us”, the pool party is not to be missed, sparking some of that summertime joy to all who visit!
