          Sculpture by Janet Echelman

          "This newly completed sculpture commission by Janet Echelman, changes shape in the wind. 160 feet tall, the sculpture spans 300 feet and suspends over a three-lane highway roundabout on the Atlantic coastline in Porto, Portugal. It is credited as the first permanent monumental sculpture to incorporate fluid movement and is called "one of the truly significant public artworks in recent years" by Sculpture Magazine. The sculpture integrates the history of Porto, where a fishing village became an industrial area with smokestacks and tanks. The red and white stripe pattern of the smoke stack referencing elements continues into the sculptural net shape. The shape of the net mirrors the landscape below. The solid, unmoving forms on the ground accentuate the movement and changing forms in the air"

            I find it interesting the responses of the people in the video, as usually public art of this kind and scale evokes a lot of negative responses.
            I took a workshop with Christo http://christojeanneclaude.net/rf.shtml#
            when I was in art school, and it was an interesting insight into the thought process behind this style of artwork that almost becomes ongoing performance art. Below: Christo and Jean Claude "Running Fence"

              I Think Landscape art is terrific. Here in my neck of the woods we have a world famous piece ourselves.

              The Spiral Jetty. Robert Smithson, 1971 Its on the Shore of the Great Salt Lake. after it was created in 1971 the lake rose and it had been submerged for over 35 years. back in 04, the lake receded and the jetty was visible again. I drove my family out there (about 2 hours away) to walk out there and see this once in a life time phenomenon. It was all crusted over with salt. It was so ethereal and other-worldly. I think it under water again. That's my daughter and Phoebe the wonder hound. and the other is my son. That is SALT they are standing on. Weird Huh?

                This reminds me of finding an old teepee ring hiking a few days back in the mountains.
                Particularly with pieces like the Jetty, there is a timelessness.
                A great thing to share with the kids, and I'm sure wunderhund loved it too.

                                        It is going to be interesting to see what happens when Atmosstudio completes their website, because those stair images, and the others that are in place are awesome.
                                        I can't help thinking Rennie Mackintosh, and Gaudi when I see images like this.
