Wed Jan 19, 26, 11am-12:00pm, MIT Museum, N51

Single session event
Large-scale inflatable sculptures by Otto Piene will lift into the sky above Killian Court as the culminating event of the MIT 150th Festival of Arts, Science and Technology, May 7, 2011. Be part of the student / alumni team that realizes this historic art project.
Otto Piene, artist and MIT Professor Emeritus and Director Emeritus of the MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies, originated Sky Art and did initial experimental artworks in his first years at MIT in the late 1960s. Characteristic of Piene’s Sky Art are large-scale, inflatable sculptures that lift into the air upon helium filled tubes. The events are collective, methodical, environmental art processes that lead to poetic images in the sky.

The MIT Museum is producing the event and is assembling a volunteer team of MIT students and alumni to work on it. The project will include planning and execution with Otto Piene and crew.
Come to one of two information sessions to learn more.
