Until
Sunday April 28 2019
For this
outdoor installation, the artist is arraying a series of quirky abstract
sculptures in porcelain, wood and cast iron around Madison Square Park’s
central fountain, which has been drained for the occasion. The installation’s
title is taken from a famous order given by Admiral David Farragut, whose
statue stands nearby, at the Battle of Mobile Bay during the Civil War. When
his squadron began to withdraw after one of its ships was sunk, he ordered it
to reverse course and charge the harbor. “Damn the torpedoes,” he said, using
period nomenclature for mines, “full speed ahead!”
