Hartmann’s Heart to Take Times Square

Monday, January 24th, 2011

The Times Square Alliance has selected Light Hearted (pictured at left) as the winner of its third annual Valentine Design Competition. This clever interactive sculpture is the work of Freecell, a design studio co-founded by Fellow John Hartmann, who recently returned to New York from a month-long fellowship at the MacDowell Colony. Light Hearted will be on view in Duffy Square from February 10-20. Pre-registration is currently open for people who would like to “hold the heart.” Sign up today!
