While Boston’s brutal winter fades to a distant memory, our parks and outdoor spaces are springing to life. None more so than the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway. This 1.5 mile stretch of parks in the heart of Downtown has truly come into it’s own as workers, residents, and visitors alike embrace the dynamic spaces that were once home to an elevated highway. In that spirit, the Greenway has unveiled one of the more provocative pieces of public art in the city’s memory: an aerial sculpture. Janet Echelman’s massive installation arrived with considerable fanfare over the weekend that did not disappoint. Consisting of over 100 miles of twine and floating as much as 365 feet above the ground, it is impressively suspended from three nearby buildings and easily spotted from a wide range of angles several blocks away. As Boston continues to evolve and works to shed it’s sometimes stodgy image when it come to public art, Echelman’s sculpture is a great example of how public/private partnerships can contribute to cultural placemaking. What’s next on the public art front? Look no further than the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum’s upcoming piece by Ken Smith and a inflatable maze at the Lawn on D. It looks likes it’s going to be a good summer to be outside!
