I took my family into Grand Rapids today to have a peek at the ArtPrize work on display. We were thoroughly swept up by the quality and expansiveness of the event. Fortunately it runs through October 10th so we have time to see more of it.
Some of the displays were of a scale that is hard to imagine. I
captured this video of thousands of different color paper airplanes
launched from the roofs of several buildings over a crowd that covered
Monroe Avenue.
I found this Mobius band really interesting. While I've made them with a strip of paper, I've never considered using steel and expanding on it like this photo shows.
Other displays were equally fascinating and some defied explanation. My son couldn't resist touching the metal face in this next photo.
I highly recommend you make time to visit this event before it's over. Even though the paper airplanes have flown, there is still so much to see.
