Consider this earthmoving tractor thing in Prospect Park the antidote to “site-specific art installations” as it really is nothing more than a rotting piece of equipment. But what if it was art? “The artist would have to produce a statement saying things like: ‘Earth/Mover IV continues my exploration of ‘found’ machines and manmade structures in decay, juxtaposed with the rebirth and growth of organisms in hostile environments. The series challenges the viewer to encounter the vigor and resilience of natural elements and to perceive the brutality and, ultimately, the fragility of instruments of mass ecological destruction.'”–A Year in the Park
