Beginning on February 18, 2013, Motoi will begin work on an ambitious Saltwork, entitled Floating Garden, directly on the floor of the Morrison Atrium at Mint Museum Uptown. The public is welcome to observe the creation of his work from many dynamic vantage points within the building.
The community will celebrate the completion of Floating Garden and the opening of a smaller, long-term installation of his work (including two-dimensional works and a documentary video) on Level 4 during First Look Friday on March 1, 2013 from 6:30PM - 8:30PM.
On March 3, 2013 at 1:30PM, members of the community are invited to dismantle the Saltwork and deposit their portion to a body of water, thereby returning the salt to the natural cycle of life and transformation.
