Play Me I'm Yours: Public Art Movement in New York
The public art movement taking over New York, which began on June 21 and runs until July 5, is bringing 60 working pianos to parks and public spaces throughout New York.
The "Play Me, I'm Yours" pianos call on anyone and everyone to play, with even Mayor Michael Bloomberg exalting all New Yorkers to kick out some jams.
"It doesn't matter if you're a world-class virtuoso like Beethoven or a guy who took one year of lessons like Bloomberg, just sit down and let your fingers do the talking," said Bloomberg said when the project was launched.
The unique installation piece is the brainchild of British artist Luke Jerram, who kicked off the work in 2009 with installations in London, Sao Paulo, Sydney and a number of towns across Britain.
