Apparently 60 pianos were scattered all around New York City from 6/21/10 – 7/5/10 as part of a unique art installation brought to the city by the organization Sing for Hope. The installation was a joint venture with a British artist, Luke Jerram, and was named “Play Me, I’m Yours”.
All types of art installations are popping up around cities across the world of late it seems, but to me this one seemed genuine and inspiring. In a sea of cars, trains and hectic, frantic people rushing everywhere, 60 pianos were able to dot the landscape and connect with people in the city in a new/unique way. Whether you sat down to play it, or whether you just saw it and wondered why it was there, there was still some level of connection made. Pretty cool if you ask me.
To top it all off, Cincinnati will be hosting the Play Me, I’m Yours exhibition in August this year, so keep an eye out!
