	eric gelber on the socrates sculpture park
		Socrates Sculpture Park is a 4.5 acre, waterfront sculpture park in Long Island City.
		When walking through this sculpture you are forced to: look up at the sky, look down at the real grass and compare and contrast your feelings, wonder where the exit is. It is a relief when you come out the other side.
		Whether or not the artist intended the two sculptures to act as one is not clear, but the auras given off by each of them commingled until complex associations were generated.

		Since the mid-1970s, the high point of Minimalism, sculpture has widened the discussion of what might be considered as art, and with the open exchange of beliefs and opinions, it has become a medium of change and challenge.
		Di Suvero was clear about the park’s purpose—young people were to have their own space to build and show their sculptures, working all the while with the community.
		The park has the tools to help artists who want to work large; in a fenced-in area, there are cranes, gantries, and welding equipment, which make the construction of very big sculptures easier.

	"Yard" - New York - a group show of outdoor sculpture at the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens ArtForum - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In "Yard," a group show of outdoor sculpture at the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, artists (with perhaps a few exceptions) preferred the sociohistorical framework as a means to express their ambivalence toward the suburban experience.
		It slipped through a thin copse of cottonwood trees and tall grasses, neatly dividing a portion of the park.
		Although it relied, like many of the other works, on the easy subversion of a common suburban trope, the fence had material (or perhaps immaterial) presence enough to generate a distinctive sculptural energy, becoming all the more real as it slid away from optical certainty.
