Exploring Charlotte Colbert’s (@colbertcharlotte ) ‘Chasing Rainbows’ sculptures on a NYC ride with Franco Mauro Garrido (@franncogrd ). “Navigating the chaos of the city, I stumble upon an open space featuring a giant, elevated sculpture of an eye—one that seems to see it all. The space invites me to slow down, to pause, and simply observe for a moment amidst this busy city life. Continuing on my journey, I encounter a silver tree adorned with hanging amulets; this prompts me to reflect upon—and recall—the artistic origins and roots of the Meatpacking District, it leads me to realize that it is key to remember your past in order to truly value your present.” Curated by New Public (@newpublicprojects ), take a recreation of Franco’s journey during your #FriezeNewYork weekend and share your experience with #ChasingRainbowsNYC. @nyc_dotart @flatironny @meatpackingny @simondepury #PublicArt #FlatironNoMad #MeatpackingNYs

From up above, you see it differently. Charlotte Colbert’s (@colbertcharlotte ) ‘Dreamland Sirens’ stands at the heart of the Flatiron District, its chrome surface catching the street, its eye fixed on everyone passing below. Curated by New Public (@newpublicprojects ) and on view until the end of May.

"Everything around us that is human-made is imagined." Charlotte Colbert reflects on imagination and the eye in 'Dreamland Sirens' as a symbol of how we visualize the world around us.

The eye at the centre of the city. Not one color, but two. Charlotte Colbert's (@colbertcharlotte ) 'Dreamland Sirens' pulls you somewhere between the city you know and a dream.

Look closer. The charms hanging from Charlotte Colbert's (@colbertcharlotte ) 'Where Angels Live' are Milagros, a Latin American and Spanish tradition of small offering charms tied to healing and the body. Each one carries its own meaning: a heart for empathy, a mask for imagination, a fairy for transformation. Find the sculpture, part of the 'Chasing Rainbows' presentation, in the Meatpacking District through May 27. #ChasingRainbowsNYC Curated by New Public (@NewPublicProjects ).

At New Public, we’re proud to be a women-owned and operated agency. Our team includes many working mums and we’re constantly inspired by the incredible women we work alongside. This Mother’s Day, we asked a few artists we’ve had the privilege to work with: “How do you balance being an artist and a mother?” Their answers are honest, personal and inspiring - reminding us that creativity, care, ambition and family often grow side by side. Swipe through to read reflections by @majeda_clarke , @Lakwena , @eleanorlakelin and @ColbertCharlotte . Happy Mother’s Day to all the artists, makers, founders and creatives making it work in their own way - and sending love also to those in caring or parental roles, and to anyone who may find today tender or complicated.
