Governors Island

On Sunday, we went to Governors island. This is the island in Manhattan which is approximately shaped like an ice-cream cone (see map at left). We took the free ferry along with young people wearing lots of black and lots of metal (it was the third Annual “Punk Island” event). All over the island were large metal sculptures by contemporary American artist Mark Di Suvero. These pieces are normally found at the Storm King Art Center in the Hudson valley but are on loan on the island this summer.
