New York residents and visitors may remember when a squirrel was momentarily trapped amid the laminated timbers forming "Bling Bling," Martin Puryear’s 40-foot-tall installation at Madison Square Park in 2016. The animal eventually found his way out safely, and the sculpture continued to be an Instagram sensation. This year, the park’s conservancy and the artist have teamed up again on a project with freedom at its core: “Martin Puryear: Liberty/Martin Puryear: Libertà,” with which he is representing the U.S. atLa Biennale Di Venezia，他的新作品，如被覆盖的旅行车新的Voortrekker，反映了自由作为一个基本的人类主题。展览的七个雕塑是在设计的一个环境中Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects，这也与艺术家合作，展示了展示展馆的前院，如教堂的Rood屏幕。
