"Picnic" is an interactive site intervention that transforms underutilized public spaces into venues for meaningful social engagement. Egret Grassland will be temporarily transformed by the installation of red and white fabric squares staked into a 2000 square foot gingham blanket for a large scale picnic event. The installation is activated when the audience gathers for a shared meal and conversation. The piece is part of a larger commission by artist Alison Heryer for the lawn of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. Bring food and connect with colleagues of World Stage Design 2017.
