“Outside Time” is the monumental sculpture by the Bulgarian artist Dimitar Lukanov, will be unveiled on February 26, in the departure hall at New York’s JFK Airport Terminal 4.
The massive sculpture is an elated, optimistic “Goodbye” to the millions of departing New York air travelers. “Outside Time” is a veritable drawing in space, a breathless, effortless, instantaneous gesture in the air. The piece aspires to halt, even momentarily, the relentlessness of time.
This complex work of Public Art – a structural wonder of weight distribution- is the signature piece of a three-work sculpture project commissioned to Dimitar Lukanov “I do transparent sculptures that converse with nature. The bronze and iron used in my work long for permanence, but the forms and illusions are ephemeral. The end result of my sculpture is an abbreviated script of matter dissolved within the air” says the artist.
