DeCordova installs site-specific public artwork in Cambridge
The window installation in Cambridge by Vanessa Irzyk (click image to enlarge).
The deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum has installed a new site-specific public artwork in the windows of a Cambridge office building. The installation, part of deCordova’s corporate art loan program, features 12 sculptural paintings created specifically for the space by local artist Vanessa Irzyk and will be on view at 1 and 101 Main St. in Cambridge for six months. The site-specific installation was requested by deCordova corporate member CBRE New England, located in Kendall Square’s Riverfront Office Park. The artist used found wood from Vermont, paintings, and colored tape to make a dynamic 3D installation.
This is the sixth site-specific installation at this property as part of deCordova’s corporate art loan program. DeCordova’s corporate art loan program lets corporate members exhibit artwork of both established and emerging contemporary New England artists directly in their offices. The original artworks are from deCordova’s permanent collection and over 200 lending artists. The corporate program also recently facilitated a site-specific art display for corporate member BioMed Realty at 210 Broadway in Cambridge.
