Pae White's Noisy Blushes: Installation Timelapse

Pae White’s "Noisy Blushes" is the most ambitious commission in SJMA’s history. Let’s run the numbers to prove it: 12,000 disks, 1,129 cubic feet, 504 cables, 120 funders, 68 colors, 9 days of installation, 8 exhibition team members, 3 scissor lifts, and 1 artist. Commissioned to usher in the next 50 years of creative impact at SJMA, Pae White’s "Noisy Blushes" soars within the Museum’s thirty-foot high atrium and transforms its entrance into an experiential passageway, delivering a sublime experience for visitors. Approximately 14 x 14 x 11 feet and suspended above the viewer, "Noisy Blushes" is one of the artist’s largest hanging pieces and her most colorful completed to date. The sculpture comprises 68 colors and a design that fluctuates with the time of day, the seasons, and as the viewer changes their vantage point.

What a beautiful piece of art!!!

[@lightofregan717]

So incredible! I saw one of Page White's sculptures in the gallery space of the San Jose Museum of Art last year and it was mezmerizing. Each time a person entered or left the gallery where it hung you could see a subtle shimmer inresponse moving through the sculpture. And when people were passing through the main door the exchange of air, change in the relative air pressure therefrom created would illicit a more substantial response to register in both the sculpture and each observers own delight as they followed along wherever each atmospheric repression might lead. I really would love to own one of Pae White's sculptures, have it in my own home because they are as close to a living organism as I've ever observed any work of art and creation to be... including my own, wahn 🎺wahn🎺 waahn 🎺😉🌌🌬️🍃🔮🚪🎐⚛️♾️🤯 🤩
