The Rappin’ Max Robot metal installation at Borough Hall Plaza holds court there for just a few more days. Next month, the 18-foot tall and 7,000 lb metal hunk with his 10-ft long boombox moves from its Brooklyn outdoor space to a permanent installation at Place de la Bastille-de-Stalin n Paris, France. Prior to its six-month stay here, Max held court at the Hip Hop Museum in The Bronx. The sculpture was created by Welder Underground, a Brooklyn-based program that hosts six-month paid apprenticeships for aspiring young Brooklyn welders and fabricators.
