Light Project @ PFA
We're reminded that one of our sponsors is engaged in an interesting project. It's a continuance of a current show, with some new adaptations. From the Pulitizer Foundation, this note:
========
In conjunction with the Flavin exhibition, on September 4th we'll be opening "The Light Project", which will include 4 outdoor light installations around Grand Center. I've attached the press release which has further details about each artwork and the collaboration between the Pulitzer and the Contemporary, SLAM, and White Flag.
One of the installations will take place in that burned-out church on Spring Avenue. Two artists will be recreating the roof with lamps, lanterns, and lamp shades donated by the St. Louis community. We're currently collecting donations. It's been an interesting process so far - we've been documenting the collection and stories behind each lamp online: http://lamp-collection.pulitzerarts.org/
