Pae White at the Art Institute of Chicago

I feel like I should be working for the tourism board of the City of Chicago. There are so many cool goings on in the city.
Last night I attended an event at the new Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago. I had never been to the restaurant, Terzo Piano, and the setting took my breath away. The terrace, with spectacular views of Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue, is encased with a site specific work by artist Pae White titled Restless Rainbow. She has wrapped the space with an abstracted rainbow. While planning for the installation, White wondered... what would happen if a rainbow fell from the sky?

You could go see for yourself.







While we are on the subject of rainbows, here is a stitched iphone photograph of a double rainbow.

Who even knew they occurred in nature?

Isn't the Pae White wonderful? I read that many brides who had planned their wedding receptions up there were upset b/c they felt that the rainbow interrupted their decor....Art is in the eye of the beholder indeed!
