Longwood Gardens has commissioned UK light artist Bruce Munro to present a debut, garden-wide exhibition, Light!, in the summer of 2012. This is Munro’s first garden installation in the US and will showcase never-before-seen views of Longwood at night.
The exhibition will feature seven large-scale outdoor installations, two installations within Longwood’s grand 4-acre Conservatory, and a small collection of illuminated sculptures in Longwood’s historic Music Room.
Installation highlights include for instance “Forest of Light”, which invites guests to wander through a serene forest of 20,000 illuminated stems reminiscent of blooming flowers. Longwood’s undulating Meadow plays host to the “Water Towers”, a collection of 69 symmetric towers that create a glowing maze of light that changes hues to music.
Light! opens June 9, 2012 and will run through September 1 in Kennett Square, PA, USA.
