Swedish-born artist\u00a0Hanna Liden just unveiled Everything<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 a series of works\u00a0consisting of nine giant bagel sculptures as part of a public-art project in Manhattan. Seven of the\u00a0giant bagels are on display in\u00a0West Village\u2019s Hudson River Park through October 20, while two will occupy a spot on lower Sixth Avenue until August 24.<\/p>\n

Leiden, a photographer-turned-artist, previously exhibited I Hope These Ruin A Perfectly Bad Day<\/em> in New York in 2014, a series of photographs featuring disparate everyday objects repurposed as flower holders.<\/p>\n

She turned to a very quintessential New York item \u2014 the bagel \u2014 for this new project.<\/p>\n

In explaining the new exhibit, Liden said, “\u201cTacos are not New York. Pizza slices are, but the bagel has a better shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sculptures, made from industrial-foam\u00a0and coming in at\u00a0four feet in width,\u00a0are being presented by the Art Production Fund<\/a>, a New York non-profit \u201cdedicated to commissioning and producing ambitious public art projects, reaching new audiences and expanding awareness through contemporary art.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Liden’s own words,\u00a0\u201cthe bagel \u2014 a circle with no beginning and no end \u2014 is evocative of the eternal cycle of city life. The black spray paint is a romantic tribute to the darkness and grime, which are essential and beautiful characteristics of our city.\u201d<\/p>\n
