"Match-Maker" cosmically connected people on Valentine's Day. Guided by their zodiac signs, visitors could arrange themselves at twelve viewing points around the heart-shaped sculpture. While peering through colorful, interwoven periscopes, viewers could catch a glimpse of each of their four most ideal astrological mates, offering potentially novel connections between lonely souls or settled lovers.

The form of the sculpture is elusive, complex and symmetrical, and changes as visitors experienced it from different vantage points throughout Times Square. From many points of view it forms a perfect and iconic heart; from other perspectives the sculpture is tangled and perplexing.

Bryan Young founded the Brooklyn design studio Young Projects in 2010. The studio produces multidisciplinary work ranging from architecture and interiors to furniture and art.

Presented in partnership with Van Alen Institute
