Now Through October 31 – Fog x FLO

by

Starting this August, The Emerald Necklace Conservancy will launch a “climate responsive” art exhibition. Fog x FLO: Fujiko Nakaya on the Emerald Necklace will introduce park visitors to the internationally renowned “fog sculptures” of Fujiko Nakaya. The installations have been designed to complement and enhance Frederick Law Olmsted’s (FLO) enduring landscapes.

Fog x FLO will be showcased at the following five locations, and will be free and open to the public from August 11 to October 31, 2018:

Fog x Canopy, Clemente Field Path, Back Bay Fens
Fog x Island, Leverett Pond, Olmsted Park, Brookline
Fog x Beach, Jamaica Pond
Fog x Hill, Hunnewell Hillside, Arnold Arboretum
Fog x Ruins, Overlook Ruins, Franklin Park

Building on this engaging Necklace-wide exhibition, the Conservancy will also develop and pilot new physical and digital way-finding approaches to orient park visitors along the exhibition sites in the Emerald Necklace and install new educational and interpretive displays in the Emerald Necklace Conservancy’s Shattuck Visitor Center at 125 The Fenway.
