Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata has been building his tree hut in Madison Square Park since last week. He will be on hand today to answer questions from the public about his latest work Tadashi Kawamata: Tree Huts. Kawamata is best known for his site specific installations that explores urban environments, juxtaposing established architectural elements with shanty-like structures. While this work may appear more fitting in its environment, Kawamata’s wooden structures have flourished around lamp posts as well as classical and modern buildings. Tree Huts will be open to the public on October 2nd.
