Mad. Sq. Art Throwback: William Wegman's "Around the Park" (2007)

On view from September 14 - October 28, 2007, artist William Wegman presented "Around the Park," a new site-specific video work on four outdoor monitors near Madison Square Park's popular food kiosk, Shake Shack. The seven-minute-long video commission starred Wegman's favorite cast of iconic Weimaraner dogs as they enjoy a fall day in Madison Square Park. The curious figures engage in mundane tasks, from waiting in line for a Shake Shack lunch and making security rounds in a park vehicle, to taking a visit to the park's Jemmy's Dog Run.

Is this considered avant garde?

[@cruithne6021]

Where do they stuff the person inside the suit along with the dog? The person must be holding the dog but it doesn't look like that! Interestingly creepy.
