Visual Art Currently Hanging (Stones Get Cold, Too, Edition)
Posted by Jen Graves on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 9:43 AM
Installation by Shannon Eakins and Marc Dombrosky made of Richard Rhodes's stone-wave landscape installation in the center of Tacoma Art Museum, each stone wrapped in secondhand sweaters and blankets
At Tacoma Art Museum. (Web site for the museum is here, though I couldn't find any mention of this installation, lasting through January 4 according to press materials, on the site.)
Tacoma Art Museum is a series of galleries that wrap around an empty core. Actually, the core is conspicuously not empty; it contains landscape architect Richard Rhodes's "stone wave," surrounded by mirrors that throw around dizzying reflections of the stones, the seams between the mirrors, and the sky. If Rhodes were a prima donna, he could complain that his design is continuously getting stepped on: floats by Chihuly sit on it (riding the wave, as it were), SBC once installed a ship on it, and now, Shannon Eakins and Marc Dombrosky have wrapped each stone to keep the whole thing warm through the holidays. This looks like the best of the interventions so far.
