The Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) is one of the nation's oldest and largest museums. Its 152-acre campus includes an art museum, two historic houses and their gardens, a theater, and an onsite conservation science lab.
With MICD25 support, IMA will work with artist Mary Miss and other partners, including local universities, government agencies, and environmental organizations, to create FLOW (Can You See the River?). This series of collaborative public art installations -- or "Stopping Points" -- along a stretch of the White River and Central Canal in Indianapolis is intended to reveal significant aspects of the river system, thereby enhancing the community's awareness of the White River, river-related issues, and efforts around maintaining the health of the city's water supply. Project activities will include the design, creation, and installation of physical site elements; the design and creation of walkable vinyl floor maps -- one of which will be installed at the museum -- that show the river in relationship to the city, including locations of FLOW stopping points; and public programs, including a site-specific dance performance.
