This weekend, the island will be overtaken by artists.
David Koren is the organizer of the /*Figment Art Festival*/, which will feature the work of about 300 artists, and it's all about participation.
That's the hook - the art isn't meant to just be viewed, which is why Robert Otani is back this year. This time he made a massive eagle out of bamboo and carbon fiber.
Suprina Kenney has a piece called, "Circle of Intention" - a parasol of keys, crystals and rags, and a structure containing an inscription in 33 languages.
Even the mini golf is filled with art - one hole is a mini Governor's Island.
On Thursday, the artists were still setting up... but they'll be ready for the crowds.
