Planting Fake Flowers in a $20,000 Public Art Installation: Planting Fake Flowers in a $20,000 Public Art Installation is a temporary intervention that existed for a glorious 69 hours in the X-Square Plaza at Arizona State University adjacent to the Design and Art Buildings on Forest Avenue. The intervention was meant to compliment the recently installed X-Square architectural piece Datum. By wrapping galvanized wire around a bouquet of artificial flowers, I was able to plug the floral arrangement into the astroturf foundation. The flowers appeared to have naturally sprouted from the turf; the beautiful aftermath of antimicrobial protection and rubber infill! A 9-minute video was created documenting the blossoming intervention. |
