"The large funnel shapes allow viewers to encounter the sky and their environment like never before. These spaces eliminate the chaos of the every day and provide tranquility as the viewer peers up into the blue. Conversely, the viewer becomes the conduit from which the sky opens to the earth. Nothing stands between the viewer and the sky, creating a totally immersive moment of self-realization."Since their conception in 2003, Spaces for Open Minds have been installed throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and are now for the first time in the United States as part of LAND/ART.

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing installation! Spaces for Open Minds also allows for an interactive but also meditative experience which I think truly gets to the idea of art as an instinct, rather than something learned. I hope to get to NM to see the rest of the LandArt series!
