Mother Pigeon’s pigeons just outside Madison Square Park yesterday, snapped by Untapped Cities writer Laurie Gwen Shapiro
Walk by quickly and you just might think these pigeons are real, until you realize they’re not moving because they’re made of felt. It’s a running pop-up installation by Brooklyn-based artist Mother Pigeon, also known as Tina Piña Trachtenburg. She refers to the pigeon installations as “Flashflock Outstallations” and we have to admit, the made up terms make sense. She’s one of the New Yorkers who love pigeons, and besides tending to a flock on her roof in Bushwick, she makes these stationary pigeons out of acrylic felt, recycled clothing for stuffing, fiberfill and wire. The feet can bend to wrap around objects.
