COMING TO BROOKLYN’S 2011 DUMBO ARTS FESTIVAL
 SEPTEMBER 23- 26, 2011
Offering visitors a slightly softer rock upon which to sit while viewing DUMBO’s magnificent waterfront, Twenty-Four Stones I’d Like to Know, presents a series of giant upholstered boulders at Brooklyn Bridge Park. The brainchild of artist Elizabeth Demaray and Pillow Culture, each stone sports it’s own uniquely fitted cozy-style covering in upholstery fabric over Crest Foam Industries' EZ-Dri® outdoor reticulated foam.  Lending a unique comfort with EZ-Dri® cushioning, Twenty-Four Stones asks the age old question: Can you ever make a stone any softer?
A marriage of hard and soft, Twenty-Four Stones considers the relationship between monumentality and comfort via a familiar object – the pillow. Pillow Culture will utilize each rock pattern as a template to re-construct the underlying boulders with EZ-Dri® foam, to create a geometrized version of each stone. The recreated boulders will be traveling and re-sited allowing visitors outside of the New York metropolitan area to experience theses unusual and comfortable stones.
Pillow Culture, co-founded by architects Emily Stevenson and Natalie Fizer, is dedicated to promoting the pillow. Using current material technologies, Pillow Culture designs and produces, as well as collaborates with artists to create innovative pillows that relate to human comfort, beauty, and well-being.

New York artist Elizabeth Demaray knits sweaters for plants, fabricates alternative housing for hermit crabs and famously familiarized a 10-ton Nike-Hercules Missile by upholstering it in 400 sq. feet of quilted satin.
