Full Moon Projects / Pop: 2.27.13

Positioned atop the mound at Montrose and Lake Shore Drive, we planted 1,000 fluorescent orange ground marking flags just hours prior to a snowstorm. The effect is a giant "pop" of color from within a blanket of newly fallen snow months earlier than than spring's own "pop".

Artist: Bob Faust  |  Materials: 1,000 ground markers

About Full Moon Projects: Just as a full moon inspires awe, provides peace and ignites actions over the course of a single evening, full moon projects are typographic installations at the intersection of art and design intended to do much the same. They install quickly under the light of every full moon, do their job and slowly get consumed, deteriorate and ultimately disappear. They provide a surprise among the mundane walk of life and define an ownable moment of personal reflection. Their simple, graphic and clear presentations are intended to be absorbed visually, processed personally and ultimately shared verbally. Without a doubt, the messages will change based on cultures like race, gender and age, but also over time and through personal experiences. All that said, if we can get people talking and sharing whatever it is that is important, personal and/or silenced, the projects have done their job.
