Fog x FLO: Fujiko Nakaya on the Emerald Necklace Opening Reception
Check out scenes from the August 8, 2018, event on the Back Bay Fens.
On August 8, The Emerald Necklace Conservancy welcomed to Boston and Brookline Fujiko Nakaya’s first extended citywide exhibition of multiple “fog sculptures,” marking her five decade career with works at five sites along the historic urban parks that link more than a dozen neighborhoods, and provide a natural, recreational and cultural conduit for the community. Created in response to the landmarked waterways and landscapes designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (FLO), Nakaya’s “climate responsive” shape-shifting, pure water forms invite visitors to immerse themselves in the art, experience nature anew, and appreciate the vital role of the Emerald Necklace in our city’s history, present, and future. To find out more about Fog x FLO visit, emeraldnecklace.org/20th.
