You Are Here: Lincoln Center will literally come alive with “You Are Here,” a free public sculpture, sound, and live performance installation at Hearst Plaza conceived by award-winning choreographer Andrea Miller. From July 14-23, visitors will experience a free sculpture and sound installation in which sculptures by famed scenic designer Mimi Lien house a speaker through which audio portraits of ordinary New Yorkers are projected. From July 24–30 at 7pm, these audio portraits are then replaced by live performances featuring Miller’s dance company, Gallim. Tickets are available through www.TodayTix.com
