REBECCA MIDDEN
Atlas Coelestis
Designed and fabricated for the Making Modern exhibit at Sullivan Gallery in Fall 2009. Inspired by the location of the 0,0 coordinate of the Chicago grid as well as 400 year anniversary of Galileo inventing the telescope The numerous circular rings recall the orbital paths of the planet within the solar system. The corner of the Gallery becomes activated by this kinetic sculpture as viewers negotiate the space around the piece, while viewing State and Madison streets from the windows.
