Arts in Public Places Board Member Britton Donharl explains this is the second time the Smart House’s artwork has been dedicated. The artwork was first dedicated in 2012 at the Smart House. Donharl said the art that was chosen was site specific. Since it was for a house, the artwork was on a smaller scale and since the Smart House was a collaboration between the Department of Public Utilities and New Energy and Industrial Technology Department Organization in Japan, the art reflected an Asian style. Additionally, Donharl said the alcove’s turquoise paint reflects the turquoise niche in the Smart House where the art was orginally displayed. Photo by Kirsten Laskey/ladailypost.com
