Public Sculpture in millennium park,
Chicago, IL Architecture Biennial
Organized around the south side of anish kapoor‘s landmark cloud gate sculpture, the salvaged limestone rocks promote the interaction between man and material. deposited on top of wooden pallets, the exhibition invites and encourages public participation where visitors can add ‘value’ to the raw material by artist facilitated carving, painting, performances and other un-imagined processes. the public art display also highlights the midway journey before the re-purposing stage for the construction of the lakefront kiosk. Created with architecture, design and urbanism practice NLÉ, led by Kunlé Adeyemi

FABRICATION PROCESS
Disperse
Disperse is an interactive mounted light fixture. It allows the user to control the amount of light in a room by swiveling the panels. Swivel one panel to get a new visual look and minimal light in the space, or swivel open all the panels to get full light coverage in a room.
Blue Collar
Blue Collar is a wearable object that holds two colonies of Red Harvester Ants. It’s filled with a gel substance that allows the ants enough nutrition and grounds to tunnel in for up to six months.
