“Eye” by Tony Tasset, a sculpute at Laumeier Park, stands 30 feet tall and is made from 24 pieces of fiberglass. The enormous eyeball enthralls visitors with its sheer size and glistening exterior. Along with “Eye”, there are more than 60 sculptures located at Laumeier Park, all created by different artists.
Recently Laumeier opened an exhibition titled “Electric is the Love”. All of the work is engaging with technology. For the exhibition, local video game designer Dave Derington created a game that allows players to build constructions in a 3D world, showing what they saw while visiting Laumeier.
“Basically at the end of the show we will have Laumeier Sculpture Park rendered in virtual reality,” Turkovic said. “I encourage visitors to visit the exhibition to see the progress.”
Laumeier sculpture park is free and is not only an exhibit, but, according to Turkovic, it’s a great place to visit.
“Laumeier is literally good for you,” Turkovic said. “Along with the intellectual, educational component regarding art, it’s also good for your health to get outside and walk around and simply enjoy nature with art.”
