Chicago’s Millennium Park Gets Iced

Monday, 16 Nov, 2007 0

A colossal installation of bold, abstract paintings in ice by Canadian artist Gordon Halloran will be the centerpiece of a new winter celebration in Chicago’s Millennium Park, Museum of Modern Ice, running Feb. 1-29. The installation will incorporate a boldly colored ice wall – 95 feet long and nearly 12 feet tall – into Millennium Park’s dramatic art and architecture. Halloran will also embed an abstract ice painting within the Park’s ice rink, allowing visitors to skate on its multicolored surface. Both displays are available to guests free of charge.

“Chicago is well-known for offering rich cultural resources and Gordon Halloran’s groundbreaking work supports our long-standing commitment to bringing world-class art to this city,” said Mayor Richard M. Daley. “Chicago is proud to be the first city in the United States to present Paintings Below Zero which is a must-see exhibition for both residents and visitors this winter.”
