November 5, 2011 – September 14, 2012
Borrowing its title from the proverb, "a promise is a cloud, fulfillment is rain," this exhibition explores the notion of potentiality in art. In both their static and evolving states, these works incorporate a capacity for transformation—either in their form, process, or visual language—continually enlivening the urban landscape over the course of the exhibition. |

September 20, 2011 – February 19, 2012 The visualization of a densely packed storm system, Michael Sailstorfer's Tornado will rise to more than 25 feet and feature some one hundred distinct "clouds" made of inflated truck inner tube tires attached to a steel structure. Each is secured individually and rustles in the wind, revealing hints of the armature, and creating a dynamic, kinetic sculpture. Though not intended as a literal representation of a cyclone, the work is inspired by the high velocity winds and raw power associated with these weather phenomena.

| March 30, 2011 - May 13, 2012 Rob Pruitt's monument to Andy Warhol, the father of Pop Art and one of New York's enduring cultural icons, is installed at the northwest corner of Union Square just outside the building that housed his final Factory from 1973-84 and just down the street from an earlier Factory site (1967-73). Adopting the visual language of formal statuary, the sculpture is nearly ten feet tall and celebrates Warhol's artistic and cultural legacy in the neighborhood and city he helped define.
