Follow Along.
Naga and a modified version of the Aldrovanda are headed to Golden Gate Park.
Naga will be placed in the pond at the base of Rainbow falls and the Aldrovanda will be placed on shore in front of the pond. The Aldrovanda will be a smaller version of its original self to create space for people to enjoy the art, the falls, and the park itself.
The enormous amount of effort and resources poured into the creation of Naga & The Captainess now has the opportunity to be viewed by the 24 million park visitors every year.
The artwork will be a meeting place for runners, a free and accessible field trip for children, a place for contemplation, and a place to foster new connections. Together we will break the boundary between the observer and the artwork, pulling people into an experience rather than just presenting them with a static piece.
