New Floating Public Art Installation Comes to Dorchester Bay
How cool is this? Have you seen it?
There’s a new piece of public art floating in Dorchester Bay! Boston-area artist crystal bi’s perfect memory is now on view just off the Harborwalk at UMass Boston through September 11 as part of the Boston Public Art Triennial.
Made from locally harvested bamboo and flowing fabric, the sculpture moves with the tides and is designed as a place for reflection, remembrance, and imagination, drawing its title from Toni Morrison’s essay “The Site of Memory.”
From crystal bi’s Instagram post:
“my public art project, perfect memory, launched into the ocean this past Monday at Carson Beach during @dzidzorazaglo and my 4th annual Rest + Dream Activation event 🌊⛵️I have been designing this project for the past 9 months and building for the past 3 months. it feels so surreal that something that was an idea and a sketch, something that I was getting to know more each day while building, is now in the world and floating in Dorchester Bay.”
You can view perfect memory daily from dawn to dusk along the UMass Boston Harborwalk near Fox Point Pavilion, and Boat Dock floating in Dorchester Bay.
