Walking in a Walken Wonderland

Featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!

For this year’s Socrates Sculpture Park’s Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition, artist Bryan Zanisnik created a bunch of concrete Christopher Walken heads, and placed them throughout the park.

The installation is entitled Monument to Walken
It’s set to run through March 13, 2017
Christopher Walken was born in Astoria, New York, so it’s like a homecoming
Bryan Zanisnik was born in Union, New Jersey and currently lives and works in Queens, NY
Socrates Sculpture Park was founded by artists in 1986
The area was an abandoned riverside landfill
Now, it’s a space for artists to create and exhibit large-scale sculpture installations

MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
