Sunshine Paints it Pink

Surprisingly Artful Entrance at the AIC

Modern Ring entrance, the Art Institute of Chicago (Fed 2023)

This pink road highlighting the crosswalk would definitely caught some attention from the drivers. No, it’s not painted. The glasses on the top floor of AIC’s Modern Ring got this pink filter (I assume it’s simply plastic, or maybe not), and when the sunshine hits it from the south, we get this magical light.

I tried looking up if this is an exhibition or something. I can’t find anything related. This doesn’t seem to be here even in most of the Modern Ring entrance photos. I would be glad to know more about the context.

Anyway. I like this romance. Even the street light pole gets some decoration beyond its stone brown.
