Photos: Celebrating the 2015 Abstract Sculpture at Armenian Heritage
Park on the Greenway
By Matt Conti
A public reception and viewing was held on Saturday afternoon for the
2015 configuration of the Abstract Sculpture at Armenian Heritage
Park. Fans of the Greenway park and public art were on hand to
celebrate with Julie Burros, Boston Chief of Arts & Culture, Donald
Tellalian, architect and designer of the Abstract Sculpture and
members of the Armenian Heritage Park Foundation that sponsored the
event.
Every year, the split dodecahedron structure is reconfigured into a
different shape, 25 in all, designed by architect Don Tellalian. The
2015 configuration of the Abstract Sculpture is symbolic of all who
were pulled away from their country of origin as reflected in the two
halves of the split dodecahedron pulled apart, slightly touching. The
2015 Abstract Sculpture is in observance of the Centennial of Armenian
Genocide.
The Abstract Sculpture was hailed in the April 11, 2015 Boston Globe
by Joanna Weiss as "the gem of the Greenway so far: an example of
public art that is both permanent and alive."
Here are some photos from the reception at the park:
