In this one-night-exhibit, artist Matthew Olds utilized a vast cavernous interior office space that had been sitting vacant for years. The artist’s idea was to bring the outdoors inside, creating a peaceful, serene, and powerful setting. The exhibit included an 8′ x 12′ x 2″ painting based on China Lake Park in Tacoma, WA, which is adjacent to the artist’s studio and workshop, plus the artist built a 16′ x 32′ x 5″ reflection pond and piped in field recordings of bird songs to create a thoughtful and meditative space in the middle of downtown Tacoma. Follow this link for a video of the exhibit.
