Armory Public View: Daniel Buren
August 11 – November 11
Internationally celebrated French artist Daniel Buren will present a monumental site-specific artwork of his signature striped flags in the large central courtyard at One Colorado. His installation, “A Colored Square in the Sky,” will consist of a fluttering field of more than 4,000 brilliantly colored triangular orange and yellow flags suspended above this brick and cobblestone public space. Buren’s work is part of Armory Public View, which is dedicated to commissioning large-scale art installations by internationally recognized artists in the outdoor pedestrian spaces of One Colorado. This will be Buren’s first large-scale outdoor presentation in California in 37 years. Buren’s project is co-sponsored by the Armory Center for the Art, One Colorado, Alliance Française de Pasadena and the Consulate General of France, Los Angeles.
