Franz West's largest sculpture to date, The Ego and the Id, is on display in New York City's Central Park until March of 2010. The rainbow aluminum arrangement invites passersby to directly engage with it such as by taking a seat at its base. (gagosian.com/news/2009-07-15_franz-west/)

To celebrate the acclaimed artist's love of whimsy and interactivity, Dublin artist Joan Healy (joanhealy.biz) and NYC writer Antonius Wiriadjaja (theantonius.com) reenacted the sculpting process using their own bodies as part of the medium. The two plastered themselves onto a bench, painted their bodies pink and yellow, and remained still for an encouraging audience, in effect mimicking The Ego and the Id.
