About this event:
Join world-renowned Chicago-based contemporary artist Tony Tasset for a conversation about the creation of his three-story eyeball sculpture “Eye” currently on display in Pritzker Park at the corner of State and Van Buren. On exhibit through October, “Eye” is accompanied by a “flipbook” banner series featuring Tasset’s image of a cardinal, the Illinois state bird, taking flight along State Street between Wacker and Congress. The discussion will be followed by an artist-guided walking tour of the Loop’s public art.
Tasset’s sculptural installation is a part of Art Loop 2010, a new program of the Chicago Loop Alliance.
