“ATTRITION” COMING TO CITY HALL PARK
City Hall Park will host the Public Art Fund’s showing of “Attrition,” a site-specific sculptural installation by interdisciplinary artist Cannupa Hanska Luger, from June 5 to Nov. 17. There’s an opening celebration on June 4 at 6p. Luger’s 10-foot-long steel bison skeleton will lie within a bed of grasses native to this region, highlighting the interdependence between animals, humans and the land. Luger, an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold from the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara and Lakota cultures, is a descendant of buffalo people. For Luger, the bison is a symbol of Indigenous resilience and sovereignty.
