Last chance to see Juan Capistrán’s sculpture Sundown (2021–2022), presented by CURRO in Bella Abzug Park, as part of Armory Off-Site! The work remains on view through December 15.
This work takes the form of a quaint, large-scale greeting sign that welcomes viewers with a picturesque sunset landscape painted within the letters forming the words “get out."
The work is rooted in the context of "sundown towns" and redlining across the United States. Sundown towns, also known as sunset towns, are all-white municipalities or neighborhoods in the United States that practice a form of racial segregation by excluding non-whites. The term came from signs posted that people of color had to leave town by sundown.
