Horizons on video

Larry Forte, Daura art handler, made this video to document GMOA's installation of Steinnun Thorarinsdottir's "Horizons," which has been up since we reopened and will be leaving us soon, unfortunately. It's silent, but it shows how peaceful the garden can be when there aren't 100 children climbing all over everything.

Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir to Visit GMOA Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, March 29, at 5:30 p.m. sculptor Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir will give a lecture on her work. Her installation “Horizons” is currently on view in the Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden.

Horizons a Hit

When we decided to host Steinnun Thorarinsdottir's traveling exhibition "Horizons" in our new sculpture garden, we had no idea how popular her cast-iron figures would be in candid photographs. The above one came from Family Day, but people keep sending them to us, so we're going to create a special set on our Flickr page to showcase them. Feel free to send us your snapshots (to gmoapr@yahoo.com), and we'll put them up.
