Light of Reason, Chris Burden

This ambitious public sculpture for The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University was created by artist Chris Burden. The year long installation plan required exceptional negotiation skills, fiscal creativity, and absolute attention to detail. 

Working on behalf of the Museum, I engaged stakeholders across campus, along with outside contractors and landscape architects. This installation required close and constant work with the artist and his studio. After much research, I identified the unique light bulbs that were incorporated into the final design, in order to preserve the quality of light and integrity of the sculpture, respecting the artist's original intent, while still meeting campus sustainability goals. This $2M project came in on budget and on time.
