 Dialog:City's Liz Newton and Seth Goldenberg with Minsuk Cho's Air Forest - photo by Ken Hamel/DenverArts.org The Denver Office of Cultural Affairs (DOCA) coordinated and sponsored a variety of arts events as part of the DNC under the Dialog:City banner and I was able to visit Minsuk Cho's Air Forest at City Park during daylight and sunset to get some pix. The installation was reminiscent of a futuristic amusement park bouncy castle, only without the jumping. I actually thought the piece was visually striking and fun, but I was extremely disappointed that the Dialog:City website made no mention whatsoever that the piece would be lit in the evening; in fact, the very slick website promoting the event specifically listed the viewing hours as "10:00 AM to 6:00 PM." Luckily during my daylight visit, I was chatting with the docents from Chu's architecture firm MASS Studies who kindly offered that I should "come back and see the piece at night when it is lit" which really was a treat. While curators and MCA Denver alumnus Seth Goldenberg and Liz Newton did an admirable job of putting together and promoting the Dialog:City events (minus of course the aforementioned oversight regarding Air Forest's evening presentation), the absence of any Denver-based artists was a notable and painful omission given the national spotlight.
