The project will be the third in a succession of large displays in the Campell Art Park near Broadway and NW 12th by the museum, following Orly Genger's Terra and Tomas Saraceno's Cloud City. Both brought a large number of visitors over extended runs.
Soon, artist Erwin Redl will execute Whiteout, a massive installation that was first commissioned by Madison Square Park Conservancy in New York. Redl has done other instllations around the world.
Whiteout will stretch 40 feet by 80 feet and will be 12 feet high. A huge overhead structure will be erected with hundreds of suspended light globes which will illuminate the ground in a distinctive grid and move with the wind.
Installation is planned for this fall.
