Walkways Through the Wall
Walkways Through the Wall is a sculpture, made for the Wisconsin Center, that intertwines public and private space.Created in 1998 by Vito Acconci, and a collaborating team of architects, (David Leven, Celia Imrey, Luis Vera, Jenny Schrider, and Saija Singer) Walkways Through the Wall is intended to enhance the idea of the Airlines Center as being seen as one continuous plaza.[2] "From the outside, Acconci extends the natural concrete as pathways through the wall and into the building, bisecting the terra-cotta concourse.Light boxes mark the turns in the walkways where the concrete material ceases to exist, illuminating both the interior and exterior concourses.[2] "Acconci and his colleagues designed their "interactive art installation" with the hope that visitors to the Midwest Airlines Center will see materials defying physical properties and reflect on their own potential.
