'avenue of light' by cliff garten studio will open on june 25, 2009 in the city of
fort worth, USA.

rising 36 feet above the streetscape, the six 'avenue of light' sculptures are both
transparent and opaque, depending on the viewer’s position and time of day.
each sculpture is made of 100 stainless steel plates, whose forms are derived from
architectural details in the nearby texas & pacific terminal, an art deco landmark.
stacked onto armatures, the plates create torqued volumes that contain and reflect
sunlight by day, and focus beams of colored LED lights at night.
