Melted Dreams: Brooklyn artists’ installation to vanish during conventions
“The American Dream” will melt away during the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
Two artists from Brooklyn are installing massive ice sculptures of the words “The American Dream” in Cleveland and Philadelphia during those cities’ conventions.
Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese hope their 4,000-pound sculptures prompt viewers to think about issues of racial and income inequality and the erosion of opportunity.
