Few forms in global contemporary art are as visually striking and oddly familiar as larrakitj (memorial poles) from Australia’s north. Hollow, free-standing and intricately decorated, larrakitj arise from the human desire to shape the natural landscape into a symbolic marker, conveying a message to those who encounter it.
Historically, larrakitj were ossuaries, the final resting place for the bones of the dead. They were decorated with clan designs to identify and protect the spirit of the deceased, then erected at a specific location. Not everyone would be granted this honour: often it was restricted to high-ranking or ritually powerful members of a clan. Larrakitj is one of the Yolŋu terms for these objects; other nearby cultural groups refer to them as lorrkon. These objects have gone by a range of descriptors, most commonly ‘hollow-log coffins’, or ‘burial poles’. The term ‘memorial poles’ acknowledges their movement beyond the confines of the mortuary process, and into a broader role in both Aboriginal society and the contemporary art world.
This exhibition brings together larrakitj created by some of north-east Arnhem Land’s most consequential past and contemporary artists.

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

Very good Bronx Zoo, one of the must-see places in New York. I really like the facilities and garden design here. It is beautiful and friendly to watch. We didn&#39;t see many animals because it was raining.

Bryant Park

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 20, 2017.

Bryant Park is adjacent to the New York Public Library. It is named after the American naturalist poet William Cullen Bryant and is a public space covering one block.

In the middle of the park is a large square lawn; on the east side is a statue of Bryant, with his back against the New York Public Library, looking at the tourists in the park; on the west side of the lawn is a fountain; and around it are a circle of tables and chairs for tourists to relax and rest.

Perhaps because it is in a busy city and next to the library, there are quite a lot of tourists in the park, it is very lively and full of life.
