“DREAM GLITCH”: One of the many installations in “Night Forms,” the multi-sensory experience on view at Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton through April 7.
“Night Forms,” a site-specific multi-sensory experience, is on view at Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) in Hamilton through April 7. This third and final installment of GFS’s partnership with Klip Collective brings back more than a dozen installations from the second season’s “Infinite Wave” along with a reprise of Froghead Rainbow, one of the most popular works from Klip’s inaugural project at GFS, “dreamloop.” The exhibition is designed to engage with Grounds For Sculpture’s art and horticulture collections and invites visitors to explore the grounds after dark.
“‘Night Forms’ was born out of a desire to build new audiences, engage our current audience, and promote GFS as a truly year-round destination,” said Gary Garrido Schneider, Executive Director of Grounds For Sculpture. “Over the last two years, we welcomed over 90,000 guests, of which over half were first-time GFS visitors. We are delighted that ‘Night Forms’ and our partnership with Klip Collective helped us broaden and deepen audience engagement and look forward to embarking on new opportunities, exhibitions, and creative partnerships.”
The “Night Forms” after-hours experience is a synthesis of light, sound, and video projection mapping, a process pioneered by Klip Collective. Each illuminated installation offers a unique, layered dialogue with either an artwork or feature from the horticultural collection. Popular spotlighted sculptures include Bruce Beasley, Dorion; Isaac Witkin, Eolith; and Michelle Post, The Oligarchs as well as a favorite horticultural feature, the Red Maple Allée. The installations are situated at intervals along Grounds For Sculpture’s Main Loop path and their patterns of light is syncopated to original soundtracks by electronic musicians.
While viewing “Night Forms,” visitors will have the rare opportunity to explore the park at night. For those who wish to extend their exploration of the grounds, a digital tour highlighting a mix of 20 works from GFS’ horticultural and sculpture collections is offered along the Main Loop path.
“Night Forms” is open Friday through Sunday from sunset to 10 p.m. (last tickets are available at 9 p.m.). Advance timed ticket reservations are highly recommended to ensure entry. Reservations can be made online at groundsforsculpture.org/nightforms.
