I previously wrote about the grand opening of 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the evolving nature of art and nature. One of the most intriguing art installations in the art and nature park is Type A, a 2-man collaborative sculpture.
Type A Team Building (Align), consists of two 30 foot-wide metal rings suspended from telephone poles and trees. The sculpture is constructed so that the rings reflected shadows become one during the annual summer solstice. I viewed this structure 2 days before solstice. The shadows of the rings were close.
This piece of art work took a couple of yours to plan and is the result of the collaboration of the museum staff and artists to designate the time of alignment. This sculpture is very reflective of what the planners had in mine this site-a park where both the changing nature and art can be experienced. It will be interesting to view this art sculpture and others in different seasons of the year to see how the landscape, wildlife and artworks change.
