Garden of Earthly Delights, an animation by Kelley Bell, visual arts, will be presented in the 2014 Northern Spark Arts Festival in Minneapolis. The piece, which uses characters from the Hieronymus Bosch triptych of the same name, will be projected onto architecture of Minneapolis. In the animation, “the characters from Bosch’s famous painting depicting creation, an earthly paradise, and hell are revealed by a meandering spotlight that captures these creatures in midflight, slowly tracking them across the landscape—and then they vanish. They are ephemeral, like the sudden revelation of an unnoticed detail in a cityscape that comes to define the city.”
Northern Spark is a one night arts festival presented by Northern Lights.mn, a nonprofit arts organization with the mission to transform our sense of what’s possible in public space. Northern Spark will take place June 14, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
