Teenagers Struck

posted by on May 31 at 15:20 PM

In case you’re at the Olympic Sculpture Park this weekend and notice that those white vinyl woven structures inside the pavilion are missing, here’s what’s up: A bunch of teenagers swinging inside them (they’re sculptures called Capulas by the artist Pedro Reyes) broke one. (It fell to the floor, which wasn’t far up, so nobody was hurt.)

The pieces were made for sitting and swinging in, so it’s no big deal, Darling said. They’ve been taken down to be restrung and they’ll be back up probably in a matter of weeks.

Darling said the art in the pavilion is scheduled to change over in January. He can’t say for sure who’s coming up to replace Reyes, but he’s talking to the hard-to-categorize LA artist, graphic designer, filmmaker, animator, and Yeti-admirer Geoff McFetridge.

(McFetridge was a graphic designer and graduate of CalArts when he started having art exhibitions 10 years ago. In addition to art, he’s made commercials, music videos, and he did the opening titles for Adaptation and The Virgin Suicides. Check out this short doc about him and his work.)

I was there on Monday and noticed they were gone! It is good to hear they will return. That said, I always thought they were for children - perhaps teenagers are too heavy and should refrain from swinging.
