Museum of Modern Ice

For those of you who missed it, here are some images from the Museum of Modern Ice. The 95 foot long mural titled "paintings below zero", by the artist Gordon Halloran, was installed in Chicago's Millenium Park during the month of February.

The mural was maintained by artist who continually added ice to the back side of the wall to create a continuously changing composition of colored ice.

The most stunning aspect of the mural is the vibrant colors and textures that were created in the ice itself.

It has been a while...

Ok, It has been a while since my last post, but here are a few images that I have been collecting for the last several months....

The first one is the Figge Art Museum by David Chipperfield, located in Davenport IA.

Above and Below: Interior views of the wintergarden, which is the main circulation space in the building. This is the one space where you get views back to the Mississippi River through the double glass facade.
