This year, Creative Time will head to Manhattan with “Drifting in Daylight: Art in Central Park,” which will feature seven to 10 sculptural, social and interactive works. Each Friday and Saturday afternoon from May 15 through June 20, visitors will be able to play, lick and dance their way through the park — primarily in its northern end, where, according to the program’s co-curator Cara Starke, “You tend to feel that ‘getting lost’ that was a part of the original vision” of the park’s chief architect Frederick Law Olmsted. This may be the most geographically expansive arts project in New York’s Central Park since the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s 2005 Gates installation was placed along 23 miles of Central Park paths.
