I was heading to the city for a show this evening with my stalwart media companion Skeleton Pete Parrella and since there was time to do some other stuff we headed down to Brookfield Place in Battery Park City to check out a charitable art installation known as “CANSTRUCTION”. The premise of the organization is below the logo to bring you up to speed. Check it out.

“Canstruction® is a unique, trademarked charity which hosts competitions, exhibitions and events showcasing colossal structures made out of full cans of food. After the structures are built, the cansculptures® go on display to the public as a giant art exhibition. At the end of the event, all food is donated to local hunger relief organizations. Recognized for our commitment to innovation, hunger relief and collaboration, our work has helped raise nearly 40 million pounds of food since 1992. Canstruction® events are hosted in over 150 cities around the world including North America, Australia, South America, Europe and Asia.”

I’m not going to talk too much during this one and instead will let you enjoy my findings. I tried to get the sign to describe each sculpture so that should help you along. Off you go now. There’s things to be seeing 🙂
