Two Brooklyn-based artists have created a sculpture that critiques capitalism and consumption.
Thousands of pedestrians, tourists and drivers near Times Square will be doing a double take — dismayed by the 65-foot hot dog sculpture.
After six months of planning, three months were spent building the sculpture in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The duo’s work has been shown at the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of ContemporaryDetroit, and food inspires their artistic practice. “Food is sort of the universal language. Everyone understands and recognizes food. It brings back memories and reminds people of different points and times in their lives.
Having had a large food truck at one point, Catron and Outlaw understand the trials that street vendors face trying to secure permits and avoid penalties and fines, which are more challenging for those whose first language is not English. “It was incredibly complicated. I can’t imagine navigating all of the different rules and regulations that they have to deal with on a daily basis,” Catron said.
