Zuccotti Park After Dark

Zuccotti Park, formerly known as Liberty Plaza Park, is a 33,000-square-foot public park in Lower Manhattan near the World Trade Center site. It is a privately-owned-public-space controlled by Brookfield Properties. It is located between Broadway, Trinity Place, Liberty Street and Cedar Street. The park's northwest corner is across the street from Four World Trade Center. The park was heavily damaged in the September 11 attacks and subsequent recovery efforts of 2001. Restoration of the park included the installation of "nearly 500 thin, rectangular, in-ground fluorescent lights, specially designed to be water- and air-tight, as well as easily replaceable." Last year, the plaza became the site of the Occupy Wall Street protest camp. During the demonstration, activists occupied the plaza and used it as a staging ground for their protests.  

Mark di Suvero’s “Joie de Vivre”

This is MARK DI SUVERO's sculpture called JOIE DE VIVRE, installed in Lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park (formerly Liberty Park), a three-quarter-acre park that borders Liberty and Cedar Streets in Lower Manhattan, half a block from the World Trade Center site. The red steel structure is about 70 feet high. It is a series of tetrahedrons that are open at the ends. The soaring structure echoes the tall buildings around it. Across the street is Isamu Noguchi's famous red cube.
