“GRANDSLAM” by David Begbie

After another exciting Wimbledon Championships, (Congratulations Carlos Alcaraz on the brilliant tennis in the final!!), we were reminiscing and recall this unique mesh sculpture, “GRANDSLAM” by David Begbie inside the Centre Court building.
Begbie described his desire to capture the spirit of tennis, explaining “it is the action and attention and burst of athleticism… I needed to get that sense of movement.” To bring the actions of the players to life he used steel mesh, which allows light and shadow to come through and enhance the feeling that the sculpture itself is in motion.
“GRANDSLAM” lives permanently in the Centre Court building atrium, and “resonates with the soul of The Championships past, present and future.”

“Pool Party” by Joel Mesler
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!
