Marking the revitalization of Madison Square Park, Target Art in the Park--a three-year series of contemporary art exhibitions--kicked off its second summer season in New York with major installations by international artists Teresita Fernández, Navin Rawanchaikul, and Tobias Rehberger.

		Teresita Fernández - Bamboo Cinema Fernández's installation lured visitors into an eight-foot tall labyrinth of vertical stalks embedded in the ground in concentric circles. The vertical lines acted as a continuous shutter for the people and objects moving within Bamboo Cinema, giving the work a flickering, cinematic feel. More about this project...
		Navin Rawanchaikul - I Taxi Inspired by New York's iconic yellow taxicabs, Rawanchaikul's project portrayed everyday life through the eyes of cab drivers. I Taxi included comic books, taxi tents, benches, and a food stand exhibited in the park. More about this project...
		Tobias Rehberger - Tsutsumu N.Y. Tsutsumu N.Y. was a scenic Japanese garden that merged landscape, art, and an unnatural weather pattern to create a surprising installation. It provided an intimate public space that reflected an idyllic garden--a mini-park within the park. More about this project...
