Crescent moon-shaped sunlight streaming through the trees and onto the pathway shortly after totality! Thanks to everyone who joined us today to experience the spectacular total solar eclipse! #SolarEclipse #TotalSolarEclipse2017
#tbt to a wonderful season of Summer Art Camps, which wrapped up nearly one week ago! Some of our campers collaborated this summer to create and install this amazing "bug hotel" in the woods near the Education Shelters (a.k.a. Summer Art Camp HQ!). This impressive, manmade structure consists of several different sections to provide a variety of insects with nesting facilities and shelter during the winter.
From transportation and delivery (from Chicago!) to unloading and installation…Tasset’s “Deer,” 2015, is finally here! You'll find her on view in the Way Field. #DeerLaumeier #LaumeierYearOfTheDeer
We are sorry to announce that the solar eclipse glasses sold in Laumeier’s Visitor Center have fallen under recall by Amazon: “Amazon has not received confirmation from the supplier of your order that they sourced the item from a recommended manufacturer. We recommend that you DO NOT use this product to view the sun or the eclipse.” We heartily apologize for this situation. If you purchased these glasses, please visit Laumeier’s Visitor Center (located in the Adam Aronson Fine Arts Center) for a full refund. The Adam Aronson Fine Arts Center is open daily from 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. and until 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays. You can also call Laumeier's Visitor Center at 314.615.5281 with any questions. Please note, the eclipse glasses distributed as part of Laumeier’s Free Family Day event on Sunday, August 13, were purchased from a reputable vendor found via the NASA website and DO meet the safety requirements for eclipse viewing. Please call Laumeier's Education Department at 314.615.5268 with any questions.
SHE'S COMING, SHE'S COMING!!! Laumeier's very own 12-foot-tall "Deer," 2015 (by beloved "Eye" artist Tony Tasset!), will be here NEXT WEEK! We can't wait for her installation in the Way Field, placed as though she's just emerging from Laumeier's Eastern Woodland! “Deer” photos by Tim Johnson, courtesy of Kavi Gupta and the artist. #DeerLaumeier #LaumeierYearOfTheDeer
The total solar eclipse is just 2 weeks from today! Purchase your eclipse glasses for just $1 (while supplies last!) at Gracie's Shop in the Adam Aronson Fine Arts Center at Laumeier, open daily from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. (and Thursdays until 8:00!). The Park will be free and open to the public as usual on Monday, August 21. #SolarEclipse #TotalSolarEclipse2017
Spotted in the woods this morning by our Chief Preparator Marty Linson! #LaumeierYearOfTheDeer
Assistant Preparator Ryan Bredlau and Laumeier's curatorial team are spending this (very hot!) week cleaning some of our very tallest sculptures!—including Alexander Liberman’s "The Way," 1972–80 and Mark di Suvero’s "Bornibus," 1985–87.
Our half-day campers ages 4 to 6 created and presented this sweet parade in the Museum Circle this morning to celebrate their last day of this week's "Winged, Wacky + Wild" camp!
We hope you've enjoyed our year of historical highlights in honor of Laumeier's 40th Anniversary! Pictured here is a little girl taking a break during the “Inside/Outside” exhibition opening in 1978. This photo is so cute, we have to forgive her for climbing on the sculpture—just this once! 😉 #tbt #laumeier40
Today’s historical highlight features Ingrid Hartlieb’s “Scattered Fragments of Reality,” 1988–90, consisting of six laminated wood blocks, varied in size, monumental in mass—but human in scale. Using a chainsaw to create the basic shapes, Hartlieb the weathered the blocks by gouging, scoring, sanding, polishing and even drawing on them with charcoal. #tbt #laumeier40
The Curiosity Cube(TM) is here! Visitors of ALL ages are invited to experience the amazing science and technology inside this very special shipping container (with the assistance of @millipore.sigma employee volunteers!) until 2:00 p.m. today! You'll find the Curiosity Cube on Laumeier's Lower Entrance parking lots, near the entrance to the Art Hike Trail. #CuriosityCube #SPARKCuriosity
Today’s historical highlight features Amsterdam-based artist Ahmet Öğüt in discussion with Park visitors about work “Ground Control.” Öğüt’s 2010–11 exhibition “Underestimated Zones" marked his first solo exhibition in the Midwestern United States. His artwork “This area is under 23 hour video and audio surveillance,” 2009, is still on view in Laumeier's Eastern Woodland. #tbt #laumeier40
Today’s historical highlight features these electrical artworks covered in colored Plexiglas, created by artist John David Mooney as part of his light performance sculpture “St. Louis Night Garden," 1986. An estimated 10,000 people visited the Park for the two evening performances in October. #tbt #laumeier40
Mark your calendar! The Curiosity Cube(TM) is coming to Laumeier on Wednesday, June 21! What IS the Curiosity Cube? The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container that has been transformed into a mobile science lab by @millipore.sigma. What's IN the Curiosity Cube? The Curiosity Cube is equipped with the latest technology. It provides a learning environment that allows visitors of ALL AGES to become immersed in specific science topics. All Curiosity Cube experiments are staffed by MilliporeSigma employees. The Curiosity Cube will be located on Laumeier's Lower Entrance parking lots, near the entrance to the Art Hike Trail, from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. #CuriosityCube #SPARKCuriosity
