"Jimenez Lai’s timber birdhouse, A Flock Without a Murder, is tall, stately
and looks rather like one of Sol LeWitt’s concrete block sculptures. Birdega,
by the artist Olalekan Jeyifous, is a New York bodega in miniature, painted a
dark shade of teal. 100 Martin Inn, crafted by the design studio Roman and
Williams Buildings and Interiors, is a bird hotel; “the tiniest hotel they’ve
ever designed.”

You’d think this kind of effort would only be possible for the avian-obsessed,
but the dozens of artists recruited for For the Birds, a multidisciplinary
exhibition at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for which 33 site-specific birdhouses
have been created, mostly seem motivated by a fresh creative challenge."
