Patrick McDonough "Awning Studies: Socrates, 2011"
Socrates Sculpture Park
This event has ended.
Opening on September 10 is an installation by Washington DC-based artist, Patrick McDonough. Titled Awning Studies: SOCRATES, 2011, the piece is the culmination of a three-month Public Art Residency (PAR). The PAR Program was established in partnership with the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) to support artists in the District of Columbia area and is an extension of the Park's ongoing Open Space series, (a forum for single artist and collaborative projects).
Awning Studies: SOCRATES, 2011 continues Patrick's exploration of the awning as a key architectural adornment and as central to the domestic vernacular of the northeastern United States. His project takes the form of a series of fabricated awnings without buildings: some installed in tress, some arching over the water, and others rising on a combination of steel and clear acrylic supports.
