Lots of fun and art to see in downtown Lexington this Friday from 5–8 PM. Come enjoy…and if you go, tell an art faculty member to get Nexus Flex credit.
Luminosity at Triangle Park (from the LAL website)
On Feb. 21, the Lexington Art League will unveil an
interactive sculpture of light in Triangle Park, the heart of downtown
Lexington, where thousands of Central Kentuckians and visitors to
Central Kentucky shop, work, and play.
A dazzling beacon of light in the dark nights of winter, the sculpture will enchant viewers with its luminous vibrancy and its fluid, dance-like visual responses to the physical movements of its viewers.
Designed specifically for Lexington by Canadian artists-in-residence Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett, the sculpture is thematically similar to other iconic works of light the duo have created for culturally vibrant cities around the world, including Moscow, Prague, Chicago, and Calgary.
Fabricated with the assistance of students from Bluegrass Community and Technical College Welding Technology program, and comprised of thousands of incandescent light bulbs donated by local individuals and regional businesses, the sculpture at Triangle Park is a true community endeavor that brings to light art's power to encourage wonder, delight, rumination, reflection, and ultimately, authentic, meaningful connections to one's community, one's world, one's self.
