TALLY-HO refers to the NATO phonetic alphabet and underscores the semaphore-like character of the individual pieces. The sculptures articulate a single, closed, continuous line moving through space. The movement, rate, and trajectory of the line are informed by drawings that Glatter makes in his Brooklyn studio using pendulums; these drawings are then transcribed using CAD-based software to produce the sculpture.
Installed at the corner of York St, Front St, and the BQE off-ramp, TALLY-HO is presented through a partnership between Two Trees Management Co and NYCDOT as a part of DOT’s Arterventions program.
