Spacebound Photography

(2018 pick) A highlight of Madison’s late summer/autumn season, Gleam is an installation art series featuring diverse sculptural approaches to light, displayed throughout the botanical garden. Artists from around the world create works using lasers and projections, in addition to illuminating Olbrich’s beautiful Thai Pavilion. At the reception on Saturday, aerial dancers from Cycropia will also showcase a special glowing high-flying act. Gleam runs most Wednesdays through Saturdays, through Oct. 26.

press release: GLEAM, Art in a New Light, is an annual exhibit featuring local, national and international artists creating light-based installations throughout Olbrich's 16-acre outdoor gardens and the tropical Bolz Conservatory. Visitors wind their way through dimly lit pathways, encountering strange and surprising forms that pulse and shimmer in the night around every corner. Experience the Gardens after dark in a whole new light!
