The al fresco galleries flanking "Cloud Gate" will soon come alive with a colorful new sculptural installation.
On view in the park's North and South Boeing Galleries from April 6 through October will be the larger-than-life works of Mexican artist Yvonne Domenge, who is both the first woman and first Latino to show work in the galleries. Dubbed "Interconnected: The Sculptures of Yvonne Domenge," the exhibition is presented by the Department of Cultural Affairs.
Models, drawings and maquettes of the sculptures were briefly on view at the Cultural Center last month, illustrating the artist's penchant for organic forms and shapes, and a fascination with geometry and rhythm. The forthcoming exhibition will feature three large, colorful orbs (one maquette is pictured) as well as Domenge's abstract "Tree of Life," which comprises "seeds" scattered on the ground beneath.
Born in Mexico City, Domenge has been featured in more than 40 solo shows internationally.
