Art in the Public Eye: The Making of Dark Star Park Trailers

This piece documents the process behind the creation of Holt's major public art installation, Dark Star Park, in Arlington, Virginia. The park, which features giant concrete spheres and pipes, allows the visitor to reconsider the experience of space, earth and sky within an urban context. It also serves as a kind of contemporary Stonehenge: once a year, on August 1 at 9:30 am, the shadows of the objects exactly align with outlines on the ground. Interviews with the artist, the architects, engineers, contractors, and the public, among others, reveal Dark Star Park as both a public sculpture and a functioning park that reclaims a blighted urban environment.

Reviews
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
