Interactive experiences inspired by the dramatic natural beauty of the alps and the athletic competitions of the Winter Olympics
We Clipped an article in the NY Times a bit over a week ago about curator Lance Fung's Snow Show, the interdisciplinary collaboration of art and architecture on the slopes at Sestriere, site of current Torino Winter Olympic cometitions. New images are now online showing the completed works of snow and ice.
Investigating and bridging art and architecture, the Snow Show pairs artists and architects together to create ephemeral works from snow and ice. This year's show explores a more southern latitude and environment from previous incarnations of the snow show, and folds athletic competition into the design considerations. Indeed the entry by Carsten Höller with Tod Williams and Billie Tsien takes this notion to the limit with their participatory design.
