Art Omi welcomes two new architectural installations in August. Ensemble by Hana Kassem and Spencer Topel is an immersive art experience that explores the spatial and acoustic resonance of our environment. As visitors engage with and move around a field of hollow reeds, their movement activates sound elements. Ever-changing, both acoustically and visually, Ensemble is never experienced in the same manner twice.

On August 13, join Omi for the installation of a temporary work, Drawing Fields No. 6 by Outpost Office. The event features the use of GPS-controlled painting robots to mark site-specific, building-size drawings at 1:1 scale on the grounds of Art Omi. Visitors may observe the installation process, interact with the robots and the architectural spaces as they are being formed, or visit the completed piece throughout the remainder of the month before it is erased through natural processes. Learn more about the installation event HERE
