This maze is another physical experience of art. You approach through a forest of white fabric balls, and then you enter the maze/labyrinth of diaphanous white fabrics that stretch all the way to the ceiling. An entirely new labyrinth experience, enveloping and delicate at the same time.
What is art? “In Transit” brings together four artists who make art out of the crates their works travel in. Think about the instantaneous transmission of visual images today, while the works themselves move slowly by land, air, and sea.

The concept and execution of this exhibit is astonishing! Look at the close-up to understand the detail of the artist’s vision.
In this work, “Plastic Fantastic” by Lee Boroson, you experience the concept as you walk through the passageways and arches, as well as seeing the balloons around you and their shadows on the floor.
Negative space is not only seen, but experienced by the viewer. The plastic becomes and interprets a landscape, challenging the conventional notion of landscape, and underscoring the prevalence and significance of plastic.
This installation is fascinating from multiple points of view. It’s one thing when you look up as a whole; it’s another as a close-up; it’s one more looking through the tubes and seeing the museum windows; and it’s yet another looking down at the design. An installation of polycarbonate tubes, the colors graduate from amber to solid black and evoke a cloud cover from below, and a landscape from above. The light from gallery windows makes it change, and then change again. Fascinating!
