4/26/2018Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens summer show alive with sound and motion TribLIVECreating the motion in the summer show is a selection of copper wind sculptures with blue patina designed byLyman Whitaker, a wind sculpture artist from Utah. A total of 20 large pieces spin gracefully, powered by natural aircurrents both inside the conservatory and outside, where 14 examples of art in motion line the entrance to Phipps'welcome center.WS Lyman Whitaker InterviewWhitaker says that since plants often are the inspiration for his artwork, arboretums and botanical gardens are theideal home for his wind sculptures."I find that the work is most comfortable in this setting. The work comes from plants, and to return to anenvironment where plants are the focus, the work just seems to be at home," he says.In addition to the Phipps exhibit, which is presented by Leopold Gallery of Kansas City, Mo., Whitaker's kineticsculptures are on display this summer at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Texas. He recentlycompleted an exhibition at Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.ADD ONE OF YOUR OWNAll of the pieces displayed at Phipps are for sale, with prices starting at 650.

4/26/2018Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens summer show alive with sound and motion TribLIVECreating the sound portion of "Gardens of Sound and Motion" are Jesse Stiles, a professor in the School of Music atCarnegie Mellon University; Jakob Marsico of Ultra Low Res Studio in Pittsburgh and 24 students from anExperimental Sound Synthesis class at CMU.An interactive "Fountain Composer" installation by Marsico in the Victoria Room gives visitors the power to createtheir own "dancing water fountain" show complete with a musical soundtrack. Colorful plantings of 'Sonic Mango'New Guinea impatiens, 'Mainstage Blueberry' petunias, firecracker flowers, fuchsia and lime green 'FishnetStockings' coleus add to the vibrant vibe in the room."This piece, both the sound and physical components, feels very futuristic," says Marsico. "Compared to the lushnature and Victorian architecture, it acts as a fitting contrast."Stiles created two installations for the show, in the South Conservatory and the East Room.In the South Conservatory, his sound elements also are also extended into the visual realm through a canopy oflights installed among tree branches. Six umbrella flower sculptures below are surrounded by umbrella plants andplantings in pinks, purples, peaches and yellows."As sounds swell and move throughout the room, we see that motion reflected in light-forms that move throughoutthe tree canopies," he says. "Both of the pieces I'm creating are generative installations, meaning that sounds andlight-forms evolve continuously, without any looping patterns."Melino worked with the CMU students throughout the semester to create two installations, in the Serpentine Room,where she says the feeling is "very surreal and immersive, like the forest is coming alive," and in the Butterfly Forest(Stove Room), which features their 11-part composition, "Kaleidoscope."Candy Williams is a Tribune-Review contributing writer.‘Gardens of Sound and Motion'When: April 28 through Sept. 30, 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. daily and until 10 p.m. FridaysAdmission: 17.95, 16.95 for seniors and students, 11.95 for ages 2-18; free for members and children under 2Where: Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, OaklandDetails: 412-622-6914 or phipps.conservatory.org sound-and-motion?printerfriendly true4/5
