Today Marci and I will be going to the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle. I first saw the project at the Landscape Architecture show at MoMA a couple of years ago. From what I have seen as they have been building it, it looks very neat. It is certainly beautiful and does a lot for the area that it is in (the lot used to be a couple of terrible parking/vacant lots). I am curious, however it will fall into more the "park" category than the "sculpture," i.e. acting primarily as a green space than an art venue.
I am a bit nervous of the opening days. From their website "Two full days of free festivities will kick off this historic occasion in grand style. Events and activities will include two stages of live music and dance, art making for kids and adults, artist demonstrations, self-guided park tours, and more! " Not really my cup of tea.

Pictures to come.
