Description of work

A giant, 66' long concrete table with two chairs at the ends and two side benches, the piece sits on the grass at the bottom of a stairway. It is surrounded by formal plantings. Table top is textured with playing board squares.

Artist statement
"Taking its cue from the grand rooms of neoclassical architecture, GRANtable completes the axis of the existing grand stair by terminating the procession in a grand outdoor dining room. The project can be viewed as urban infrastructure when occupied, or as a sculpture when empty." - project statement by the artists
