In 'The Enlightenment,' artist Greg Ito presents a transformative multi-site installation at Rockefeller Center, bridging personal narrative and public space. Open from June 2 to August 29, the exhibition features various media, such as paintings and dioramas, symbolizing the cycle of destruction and rebirth influenced by his experiences with California wildfires. Ito's work invigorates familiar architecture through immersive storytelling, using dynamic lighting and expansive visuals, creating an emotional resonance that invites viewers to reflect collectively on their experiences, memories, and meanings amid urban life.
Ito transforms Midtown Manhattan into a personal canvas with 'The Enlightenment,' merging memory and myth through a vibrant multi-site installation.
The installations breathe with mood, shifting lighting captures the themes of transition and duality, creating a captivating visual narrative.
With a 125-foot vinyl wrap at Rockefeller Center, Ito's work reaches a far greater scale than is typical in traditional museum settings.
This exhibition channels personal experience into public art, inviting introspection and collective witnessing among the viewers.
