New York City Halloween Parade
I’m doing a giant projection installation with Basil Twist for the New York City Halloween Parade this Sunday evening around 7:30pm. Look for it all night at the Gothic Clock tower of The Jefferson Market Library at 10th St and 6th Ave.
Upon the 15th anniversary of the giant spider in the Village Halloween Parade, instead of the arachnid normally perched atop the Gothic Clock tower of The Jefferson Market Library, a special one night only installation will trick or treat the public this year. While the historic library goes under a façade renovation, This years video specter puppet serves, like the traditional marionette spider always has, as a visual treat for those participating in the Parade as well as those lined near the Library who can witness it’s annual anticipated appearance.
