Art Worth Getting Up and Going to See Tonight!

This is "1.26", Janet Echelman's monumental temporary sculpture commemorating the inaugural Biennial of the Americas, July 7-31. Quoting from the release from the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs:

"1.26 engages with issues of temporality and interconnectedness surrounding the 1.26-microsecond shortening of the day that resulted from the February 2010 Chile earthquake's redistribution of the earth's mass. A large netted aerial sculpture - inspired by a NOAA simulation of the ensuing tsunami - will float above the traffic, suspended over 14th Street between the Civic Center's Greek Theatre and the Denver Art Museum."

Drive or bike or walk there. Park. Get out and walk around and look at this from different angles. It is stunning. And, its only there...in the air...until the end of the month!
