In Thomas J Price’s multi-channel Midnight Moment, the faces of several characters are multiplied across 95 displays, their gaze cast just beyond the reach of the nightly spectators in the plazas below. Price’s Man Series (2005-present) is a body of stop-motion animation works featuring sculpted, plasticine heads of male figures against stark black backgrounds. Coming alive through subtle eye movements and facial expressions, these quiet shifts bring a stillness to the visual cacophony of Times Square, and call attention to the way in which we track and perceive one another — an inner dialogue made conscious in the world’s most populated public spaces.
In conjunction with Man Series, Times Square Arts will present Grounded in the Stars, Price’s 12-ft tall bronze figurative sculpture that challenges both the notion of the monument and monumentality. Price’s presentation on the screens and sculpture simultaneously exhibited on the Broadway plaza below forms a two-part takeover in Times Square, foregrounding the intrinsic value of the individual in new ways and amplifying marginalized bodies on a monumental scale.
Grounded in the Stars will be on view from April 29 to June 17, 2025 on the Broadway plaza between 46th and 47th Streets.
