Jen Lewin: Aqueous

Aqueous

Aug. 6 - Oct. 19, 2020 | Campbell Art Park

Major sponsor: OG&E | Campbell Art Park
Presenting Sponsor: Dobson Technologies

Aqueous, an interactive light installation, wound through Campbell Art Park as part of our inaugural Bright Golden Haze exhibition. During the day, Aqueous’ surface reflected the sky, audience and surrounding environment. At night, Aqueous engaged visitors as they walked along its surface -- lighting up as they stepped, danced or played along the pathway. Visitors were asked to socially distance as they explored the space.

Jen Lewin combines her studies in engineering, computer programming, dance, music and film to create public artworks that engage the body and the senses. Her works have been featured at a variety of events, including the Istanbul Light Festival, Vivid Sydney 2014 and 2018, iLight Marina Bay, Signal Fest and Burning Man; art biennales in Denver, Colorado and Gwangju, South Korea; and solo exhibitions across the United States and in Mexico, Portugal and England. Lewin has designed and installed permanent public interactive sculptures worldwide, including the Sidewalk Harp in Minneapolis; Magical Harp in Palo Alto, Calif.; Promenade in Denver, Colo.; and Ascent in Coral Springs, Fla.

When planning your visit, note: Aqueous must be closed not only while it's raining, but for an hour or so after to allow the installation to dry.
