2. In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra at Brooklyn Bridge Park
The newest sculpture to grace the area near the Brooklyn Bridge is In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra by Nicholas Galanin. The monumental sculpture, Galanin’s first piece of public art in New York City, blends his Indigenous heritage with Pop Art aesthetics. Made of corten steel, the same type used for the U.S.-Mexico border wall, the piece stands 30 feet tall.
The steel bars spell out the word “Land” in the style of Robert Indiana’s 1966 sculpture, LOVE. The sculpture debuted in May 2023 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and will be on view through November 12, 2023.
