Silent Agitator

May 24, 2019 Joseph McKeown
Silent Agitator Square.jpg

Silent Agitator by Scottish artist Ruth Ewan is a clock sculpture located off 24th street on the High Line. The “monumental” sculpture is based on an illustration originally produced by labor activist Ralph Chaplin for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) labor union. The illustration, a reference to the union’s round-the-clock organizing work and importance of the clock in labor negotiations including the fight for eight hour workdays, was one of many images that appeared on “stickerettes” (known as “silent agitators”) and distributed by union members. Ewan’s intention with the piece is to “provide a gathering space on the High Line, evoking the private vs. public separation of space and time we experience in capitalism, and a possible future where people gather together for their reclamation.”
