Chris Scala Speaks About Latest Public Art Piece "Puzzle"

Sept 27, 2010 | If you drove down Princeton Street near the intersection fo Alden anytime between August 18 and September 18, 2010, you probably noticed giant yellow shapes on the lawn at the corner. See photos here. Those shapes made up the art piece called "Puzzle," created by visual artist Chris Scala. We had the chance to sit down with Scala and record an interview.

Listen to Interview with Chris Scala:


For "Puzzle," 18 eight foot yellow plastic pieces, each identical in shape, were moved into various configurations every two days during the showing by the artist and one assistant, giving the more than 40,000 drivers that pass the site each day as well as the hospital employees with windows looking onto the lawn something fun and unexpected to look at.

If you missed seeing the 18 pieces that make up "Puzzle", they will make an Orlando return in November 2010 when the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre hosts several inside their empty glass clock tower (visible from their parking lot) and more in their back veranda (visible as you walk in the front entrance).
