Mr. Pink
Mignonisme (Cuteism) is a poetically off-kilter movement to embrace the aesthetics of “cuteness” in our physical and psychological environments. Philippe Katerine presents a series of inflatable sculptures in public spaces, all featuring “Monsieur Rose” (Mr. Pink). The monumental icon of Mignonisme can be found perched on rooftops around the city. These characters transform the streets into playful places and our daily travels into delightful, colorful journeys.
Celestial Garden on the Greenway
The Greenway will be hosting a special attraction on Dewey Square: the Celestial Garden (Jardin Céleste) installation by Lucion.
Sonic Runway - City Hall Plaza
by Rob Jensen & Warren Trezevant
The Sonic Runway, by Rob Jensen and Warren Trezevant, is a light-art installation that converts audio signals into patterns of light that shoot down a 342 to 432 ft (105 to 132 meters) corridor of 20 to 25 LED lined arches at the speed of sound.
Cycle - City Hall Circle Plazaz
by Serge Maheu
Cycle is an interactive installation inspired by the revolutions of the sun and the moon, that illuminates open spaces. Composed of a series of modules allowing various configurations, and equipped with several light animation sequences, Cycle delights with its variations in intensity and colour. Diffusing brightness from its core, it evokes the halo effect of an eclipse.
Living Lantern in Charlestown Shopper’s Plaza
by NEON Studio & Frankie Boyle
Designed as an inviting artwork, the kinectic and light installation Living Lantern, offers a sense of hope and joy, and activates public space in a unique way. Light, color and form come together to create a sensory experience that connects to our emotions for a salutary meditative pause.
Nature’s Glow - 2 Avery St.
by Mike Geiger
Nature’s Glow is a light installation that stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of the spiritual and natural worlds. The design symbolizes the nurturing embrace of a forest spirit, manifested in the structural framing, which tenderly shelters a bed of foliage. The spirit’s serene, watchful presence connects us to the nurturing forces of nature, reminding us of our intrinsic bond with the environment. This installation encourages visitors to reflect on their own relationship with nature and the unseen forces that protect and surround it.
If you’re newly visiting Boston, don’t worry—Downtown Boston is flat and easily walkable! Enjoy this festive and colorful winter art installation!
