"She Changes" Sculpture by Janet Echelman
Loading...
Uploaded by jechelman on Oct 16, 2006
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.

@PrivateBuckwheat I stumbled upon the track again. For anyone who is curious, it is "The Devil is in the Details" by Boards of Canada on their album Geogaddi.

Is the music at 0:44 an Autechre track? It's so familiar, but I can't remember what it is.

It's beautiful in the way it mimics natural growth patterns. It looks kind of like a jellyfish or a flower. Very nice.. What an undertaking. It must have cost a fortune... Its size must make it an amazing experience at almost any distance. I wonder what the google sattellite pics look like....?
