Jeppe Hein’s outdoor experiential artwork, Bench Around the Lake, imagines
a playful and serpentine park bench that emerges from the ground, twists,
turns and submerges again in several locations around the Park’s 35-acre
lake. Hein worked with IMA horticulturists and Indianapolis-based landscape
architect Eric Fulford to select locations for the installation that will
form a circuit around the lake, interacting with specific sites and natural
phenomena within the park and along the bordering bank of the White River.
Hein will have a corollary installation exhibited in the IMA’s McCormack
Forefront Galleries, Distance, conceived as a kinetic counterpart to Bench
Around the Lake. The installations will encourage the public to consider
Jeppe Hein’s engagement with the architectural, spatial, and navigational
experiences of interior and exterior sites.
