Complete with solar powered glowing spheres and strips of native field grasses the occupation of a formal park with natural objects and objectification is rather intriguing. I think it is wondrous and beautiful and applaud the simplicity of execution. Cleveland Public Art (click on the Mall B link) has the artist's statement which says it so much better. It was a beautiful day downtown, the sun was setting, the city sparkled and the malls reminded me of how beautiful a formal city park could be. If there would have been a soft pretzel vendor about I would have been the happiest guy in town. Take an evening or a lunch and go check it out. I am unsure if there will be a ceremonial groundbreaking or whatever but it is out for everyone to see so you really don't have to wait.
