Liotte - and it was only yesterday that I swore I was gonna miss you when you went out to the Hamptons...
brdlwyr- what is your avatar??
OTA- Ok, be like that. I rescind (is that the right word for take back?) my invitation for a hamptons visit!
Yes, BL, what the heck is that thing?
Fine, take it back - deny me the one exciting event I can look forward to in my declining years... *hack* *wheeze*

What I wanted to do in Millennium Park is make something that would engage the Chicago skyline…so that one will see the clouds kind of floating in, with those very tall buildings reflected in the work. And then, since it is in the form of a gate, the participant, the viewer, will be able to enter into this very deep chamber that does, in a way, the same thing to one's reflection as the exterior of the piece is doing to the reflection of the city around.

ahhh - so that's what it is... interesting.
Is there a link to see a bigger picture of it?
yeah, cause it kinda looks like a big silver pill...

I didn't look at the location- where is the park?
Broadway Legend Joined: 1/14/05
Just north of the Art Institute, East of Michigan Avenue.
My knowledge of downtown Chicago is more of the shopping areas....

State Street Marshall Fields???? Go towards Lake Michigan.
Definitely know that one!! And the old navy down the street, and Wicked up the block on Randolph at the Oriental :)
