Tourist cabins on Park Avenue

November

Over the summer I wrote about two small tourist cabins installed on Park Avenue.

The sculptures, because thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s what they are, stand on the median between 52nd and 53rd streets.

They were created by Donna Dennis, who grew up in Rye and is a professor of sculpture at Purchase College.

They had been scheduled to come down last month, but now can be seen until Dec. 2.

HereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a photograph of one of the cabins this summer. I wonder how it will look in snow.

One Response to “Tourist cabins on Park Avenue”

It’s more than ironic that I know of a parking facility not 6 blocks from those cabins, where homeless men sleep in the open each night.

Perhaps someone could mass produce the “sculptures”, and set them out, for habitation?

But no…. that’s too much to hope for. Besides,.... they wouldn’t stay pretty.
