Opportunity Details
Art and the Landscape Volunteer - World's End
Opportunity Overview
Berlin and Copenhagen-based artist, Jeppe Hein, will create a site-specific project at World’s End. The artist’s work often combines elements of humor with the traditions of minimalism and conceptual art. For Art and The Landscape, Hein draws inspiration from the natural beauty and landscape at World’s End, which features a combination of Frederick Law Olmsted-designed and natural landscapes with spectacular views of the Boston harbor and skyline. Hein will install a reflective labyrinth installation, made of mirrored posts of differing heights, whose structure mimics the shape of the surrounding drumlin formations. Visitors can walk through the labyrinth, touch the mirrored panels, and create their own photographic interpretations of “art and the landscape.” The sculpture will be installed in August and will be on-site for a full year, allowing visitors to experience the transformation of the piece in different seasons.
The Trustees will host an opening reception with the artist on Sunday, September 18, 2016. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities available ranging from parking assistants to meeters/greeters to artistic assistants to help with a singing bowl painting activity. Morning and afternoon shifts are available.
