Artist David Datuna will present his new two-part installation titled, “Cloning Eternity,” at Garibaldi Plaza in Washington Square Park, on May 31 for 12-hours only from 7AM – 7PM.
The two pieces that create the overall sculpture are made from the artist’s signature eye glass lenses that create a ‘hall of mirrors’ effect, by reflecting the viewers image, distilling it and refracting it back towards them. The circle has a 6.25 ft. diameter, on a 2.5 ft. stand, while the skull is 6.25 ft. high, 4.1 ft. wide and placed on a 2.5 ft. stand.
Datuna, who has exhibited at Art Basel Miami Beach, Lincoln Center, New York, Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, is known for his temporary public installations:
· In 2017, the artist created ‘This Too Shall Pass’ as a reaction to President Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, where he formed the Trump’s name in 10-foot ice letters in New York’s Union Square Park, where the sculpture melted within minutes.
· In ‘Make America Stronger Together,’ a mobile art installation unveiled prior to the 2016 US Presidential Election, he combined the themes Make America with Stronger Together and created two monumental works of art to bring a divided nation closer.
