“I like clothing as a material. For me it is not simply cloth, but a ‘second skin’ that carries many other things, like personal memory and different historical epochs and social backgrounds.”
—Yin Xiuzhen

Be it in New York, Paris or Bamako, the world is experiencing a paradigm shift that began in Africa. Worldwide, members of the financial and racial majority are no longer satisfied with matriculating into a web of systems designed to benefit only the most privileged individuals and nations. Sparked by the 2011 toppling of Egypt’s thirty-year dictator, calls for revolution echo through mass media and populate social networking newsfeeds. As governments crumble and attempt to regain power, African citizens take to social media outlets, text messages and blogs, adding fuel to the growing global uprising.

Be out. Be outside. Be outside of it. Be outside of the box. Be outside of the system. Be out of order. Be out of control. Be out of the ordinary. Be out of your hair. Be out of your mind. Be outrageous. Be outspoken. Be out loud.

Over the past three summers, the FIGMENT summer-long sculpture garden on Governors Island has been a huge success, and has received significant media attention and a large number of visitors… over 200,000 over the course of the 2011 season.
This year, out of over 40 submissions, FIGMENT selected 10 amazingly creative, interactive, and sustainable sculpture projects, and heralds the return of our 2011 TreeHouse, that, pending funding, will find a temporary home on the Parade Grounds of Governors Island. In the 2012 FIGMENT Interactive Sculpture Garden, these highly interactive sculpture projects will be open and FREE for the public to enjoy while the island is open on Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays from June 9 to September 23, 2012.
