I didn't get to see the installation but followed the progress in the news with great anticipation. I can imagine that for regular visitors, it was both a nuisance and a thrill. Kinda like getting your house ready for Christmas. All that glorious color introduced during the dismal colorless days of winter. In reading the interview above, I loved hearing that the artists chose the park because it was part of their life, in their new home town. Cool.
So cool. I love what they said about creating temporary works of art. That really resonates with me, because the Gates has always suggested Asian aesthetics to me, and I’ve recently learned that in Asian medicine, people of a metal or Autumn type are prone to see the beauty of the world but feel how transitory it is. And guess what type I am. Heh.
