2. CHECK OUT | Hanna Liden’s Everything New York’s favorite doughy treat gets art star status as the subject of a public art installation, presented by Kiehl’s and Art Production Fund, thanks to Swedish artist, Hanna Liden. Everything , a collection of large sculptural bagels, will be on display at Hudson River Park through the fall. The city icon has been a staple in Liden’s life since she first came across the breakfast bread while living in the Chelsea Hotel, almost twenty years ago. According to Liden, “the bagel—a circle with no beginning and no end—is evocative of the eternal cycle of city life.” Adding her own punk spin, she spray paints the bagel with black, signifying the city’s grime. Through October 20th 2015, Hudson River Park @ Christopher Street & 6th Ave @ 9th St.
