Art: 21 Video

After viewing this video, I would have to say Maya Lin intrigued me the most out of all of the artists featured. She took the concepts of Art and Architecture, and combined them in a way that allowed the city of Grand Rapids to interact with the art, rather than merely observe it. She wanted to help reinvent the area by bringing life and color to a part of town that lacked these elements. By creating an outdoor ice skating rink that people could interact with, as opposed to simply a sculpture / piece of art, a new sense of life has been injected into an area of Grand Rapids that had previously been neglected.
