Installation by Lisa Greenfield and
Daniel J. van AckereLocation: A Street under Summer Street, Boston, MA
Duration: December 20, 2009-February 20, 2010 (weather permitting)
By popular demand - extended through Nov 2010!Starry Night will create the illusion of being under a starry sky as you walk under the Summer Street overpass on A Street in Fort Point, Boston. One aspect of city life is the rarity of a starlit sky. Memories of crisp, cold air and midnight black skies, punctuated by brilliant blue-white stars, are evoked by this installation.
The area is frequently traversed by the many workers and residents of our community, but it is currently dingy and poorly lit. Starry Night will create a glow that transforms that short walk into a festive, enchanting and memory-evoking experience.
