Olympic Plaza Installation – Construction

On wednesday and thursday, Dominique, Jennifer and I built our installations at the Olympic Plaza. The three projects are located adjacent to each other, so the public could easily pass view all the projects together.

As for my installation…my thoughts…

I bought over 2000 feet of rope and weaved together a small “projection” screen between two trees. The trees are along 7th Avenue (see images below). The intention of the installation was to create a projection screen out of rope, and at night project images of the c-train station across the street. Though mainly a night-time installation – some people seemed to like looking at the weaving patterns during the day time.

The process of making the rope screen was fun and interesting at the same time. Interesting because every 30 seconds, someone walking-by would ask me what I was making. It seemed as most people were confused by what I was making. I got easily over 100 people asking me question, some taking pictures of me while I worked; all in all a fun experience, and had great conversations with people interested in what I was doing and sharing thoughts about art & architecture.

For now I have posted some images I took during the construction phase, but I will post images that others took as soon as I get them. A professional photographer Rebecca, took images of the entire process – I will upload those images as soon as receive them.
