A place in the Sun: An installation series on St. Mark's Place celebrates the daylight

Starting tomorrow for the fall equinox, The Flint Collective NYC unveils a temporary installation series titled "Suncast" that maps "memory and daylight moments" along St Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

Here's more via the EVG inbox: 
Six artists from the Collective responded to the challenge of creating works that 1) transform our perception of the street; 2) "catch" light rather than produce light and 3) use minimal material to allow the light effect to take center stage. 

The experimental format was devised as an inversion of the electric light art festivals common to other major cities. In contrast to the spectacle of the typical light festivals that extend the night culture, the daylight interventions presented an opportunity to celebrate small moments in our Everyday and contribute to the character of streets before sundown.
The opening festivities start tomorrow at 11 a.m. at 97 St. Mark's Place... followed by an artist walk at noon. 
The work will be up through Sept. 29. This link details the different installations and timing on events.
