Alexandra Borovski
Alexandra Borovski’s “Object Library” is a collection of stacked compartment shelves containing various objects for visitors to observe, handle, and trade. Inspired by the randomness of free boxes left on stoops and sidewalks, communal mailboxes, and collectivist architecture, this interactive sculpture will transform the tree bed at the corner of Forest Ave. and 70th Ave. into a communal site for curiosity, spontaneity, and exchange. Visitors are invited to leave objects in the sculpture and take new ones home in return.
