Matthew BurkeNexus: Toward New Land Art

November Thru June 2011

Matthew Burke designed a site-specific interactive sculpture inspired by the Bur Oak tree branches found in Castlewood Park. Constructed with the help of Lexington community members, the sculpture’s tube-shaped form allows viewers to enter inside the work through several openings, giving visitors a new way to experience the lawn. It is designed to respond to natural elements, so expect to see new insects, critters, and all forms of plant life inhabiting the space throughout the year.
