Beats + Brews + Trikes at Summer Sets

Join Now + There in Dock Square in front of the Samuel Adams statue on Tuesday, July 19th, 10 am – 12 pm for a morning filled with music, dancing, and caffeinated refreshment from friends at A Trike Called Funk and The Coffee Trike. Now + There is celebrating the opening of Summer Sets, a project by artist Juan Obando aimed at reimagining the futures of public space.

From July 18 – August 18 in front of the Samuel Adams statue in Dock Square, Colombian-born, New England-based artist Juan Obando asks us to reimagine our role in the construction of collective space with Summer Sets. Evoking new construction while confronting public space and history, Summer Sets is a hyper-realistic, idealized rendering of Boston’s Dock Square mounted on scaffolding.

This monumental intervention provides a literal and figurative platform for visitors to add themselves, or alternative representations, to the memorial landscape and reenvision their roles in the construction and future of Boston’s collective spaces.
