Bottoms Part 58
This February, experience Chicago’s new winter celebration in downtown Millennium Park. The free, month-long outdoor festival features the U.S. debut of Canadian artist Gordon Halloran’s work, Paintings Below Zero.
Situated behind Millennium Park’s famous Cloud Gate sculpture, Halloran will create his largest and most spectacular installation to date, a monumental and colorful ice wall measuring 95 feet long and nearly 12 feet tall.
One side, visible from Michigan Avenue, echoes the city’s renowned skyline. The other side—full of color, complexity and variety—is meant to be interactive and seen in close proximity. Inspired by a glacial wall in its final stages of movement toward the ocean, the installation will evolve over time with natural and planned changes, encouraging visitors to return frequently to observe the activity.
Halloran’s ice paintings use portable refrigeration technology: modular aluminum plates that efficiently conduct the cold. These tabletop-size plates assembled into different configurations help in crating, displaying and maintaining the ice works, regardless of temperatures.

K - that smilie and the last line in your post sure made me giggle. Thank you.
Tan - follow through on your biopsy! You know what you need to do. Put it in your HP's hands, if you can. Not your boob, that's not what I meant. Sorry. Anyway. Hugs to you.
I'm going to bed. Nearly cross-eyed with fatigue.
