"This fall, Gladstone Gallery’s 21st street location will host a large-scale, boat-themed installation by Thomas Hirschhorn.
From the press release:
At our 21st Street location Thomas Hirschhorn will create a large-scale installation inspired by the sinking of the cruise ship Costa Concordia, which ran aground off the coast of Italy in January 2012. The exhibition, “Concordia, Concordia” explores the conceit of the modern disaster, and turns the aphorism “too big to fail” on its head, exploring the notion that something that is too big is in fact destined to inevitable failure. The gallery space will be filled with a reconstruction of the sunken ship, with its displaced architecture, caught in a state of collapse. The exhibition will be on view from September 14 to October 20, 2012."
