SCAFFOLD presents its March installation by artist Maria Burundarena

Each Friday evening throughout the month-long outdoor installation, Burundarena will activate the structure with an immersive light installation. The public is invited to walk through the interior of the installation to experience the full potential of Burundarena’s use of light and reflection.

Situated in the midst of Logan Square’s commons, SCAFFOLD offers an interesting intersection in Burundarena’s practice. Wrapped entirely in reflective silver emergency blankets, SCAFFOLD’s surface becomes an illusion as the material picks up the lights of the square, passing cars at a major intersection of the Boulevard system, and distorted mirroring of passersby. “Like water and light, the image is something that is flexible and does not have a frame or a shape. While contouring the spaces that are given, I explore the boundaries of the image as a material itself. I look to question our relationship to how we experience and understand what we are seeing, our depth of feeling,” says the artist.
