On November 9, 2015, “OY/YO,” a sculpture by artist Deborah Kass, was installed on Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Main Street Lawn, where it remained until August 2016. Viewers of the sculpture, which measured 8 x 17 x 5ft, could read the word “OY” from Manhattan and the word “YO” from Brooklyn. By bringing together the Yiddish word “oy” with “yo,” which is both the Spanish word for “I am” and a more general interjection, Kass fondly alluded to New York’s overlapping ethnic communities.
