Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I noho ia i runga i tētahi poraka mā i roto i tētahi ruma nui e rite ana ki tētahi taiwhanga. I te SculptureCenter ahau i te rohe o Queens i New York, he wāhi i whakatapua ki ngā mea hou me ngā mea o mua. Ko te whakapehapeha o te waahi ko te kohinga o nga pounamu, kei roto i ia pounamu he kuri kuri me te whakaahua o te kuri i puta mai. "Kei te whakahaerehia e matou he whakataetae ki te kimi i nga taranata hou", i whakamarama te kaitiaki pango-kino, i te marama. "Tēnā pea ka haehaea e au te ngeru i te wā e haere atu ai au ki ōku mātua", ka whakaaro ahau ki ahau anō. <unk> Ki te maka e au te pūhā i roto i te pounamu, tērā pea ka toa.<unk> Te hurihanga ahurea: Kei te raru a New York i te hurihanga ahurea - engari he tino pai tonu te MOMA. Nō reira, nau mai ki Niu Ioka, he tāone kāore i te rite ki te putanga i whakaahuatia i roto i Ngā Hoa me te Kōrero Kōrero, ā, ko te mea nui, ko te ao toi o nāianei e noho ana i Brooklyn me Queens - ko te whai hua o te hōtaka whakapakari hou.

I tēnei wā kei te pārekareka a New York ki tētahi huringa ahurea. Ko nga mea nui ko te SculptureCenter i Queens me nga taakaro whakamātautau.
