Agora

I saw "Agora," for the first time. It is a permanent sculpture piece in Grant Park on the south end of Michigan Ave. The work was created by a Polish artist named Magdalena Abakanowicz. Agora was a place of public assembly for Greek city-states. People would gather in the Agora for military purposes and public assembly. This piece is very military in structure but at the same time displays a sense of choas. Each individual sculpture has similar qualities but the details that make up those qualities are very different. I will have to say I was feeling a little uneasy and somewhat agoraphobic walking through this piece.
