Two new works are big, playful, credible and uncomplicated
Interactive art is only as good as its activators. That is to say, people need to push, pull, climb, punch and explore with verve when they encounter a piece of art that asks them to take part in its success, or it is doomed to fail.
That, of course, makes it an adventure. Visitors have to trek through it to get the real experience, crawling and snaking into its maze of bulbous orange, yellow and blue puffs and tentacles. K Contemporary — which is pushing the limits of what a gallery show can be with this exhibition — leaves it up to visitors to have their own way with the piece. There is little navigational assistance on how to enter or exit, making it one of those rare offerings when curators are not trying to prescribe the experience. It is just there, with its fans humming, waiting to be investigated. Go with an open mind.
The pipes are connected together in a three-level, lattice pattern set on the concrete plaza and come in three coded colors — blue pipes that are used to carry fresh water, green for sewage and purple for reclaimed water. The combo makes for a vibrant object while also covering the gamut of how water is transported beneath the city.
But there is also an opportunity to use the piece in a more serious way, to reflect on all of the junk we install under our feet, some for better and some for worse. Still, pipes need to be considered with care. That is especially poignant in Denver where a massive renewal project has our old lead pipes being replaced, neighborhood by neighborhood, with new ones made of materials on display here.
