This February, Millennium Park is transformed into a digital canvas of light and geometrical form with its first-ever site-specific video and sound installation by the Chicago-based artistic ensemble Luftwerk. Created specifically for Millennium Park, the installation will illuminate Cloud Gate – known by many Chicagoans as “The Bean” – and its surrounding AT&T Plaza with dramatic images and colors set to music composed by Owen Clayton Condon, of the local avant-garde classical ensemble, Third Coast Percussion.
Luminous Field will be on view on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6 - 10 pm, and Sunday - Thursday evenings from 6 - 9 pm. This groundbreaking winter event will be complemented by fun family activities, including hands-on art projects, musical games and craft activities; and music and dance performances in a heated tent on the Park's Chase Promenade North.
