We just placed Space Saga by Mel Tanner in the performance room at Lumonics. We converted it to LED so it can be orchestrated during the light and sound immersion. It had been in storage for a long time!
Like so many of Mel’s wall sculptures, it looks flat from a distance until you start to get closer to it and see its dimensionality.
Thank you to Mayor Hancock and the City and County of Denver for presenting the 2018 Arts & Culture Innovation Award to Dorothy Tanner.
A special note of appreciation to Tariana Navas-Nieves, the Cultural Affairs Director at Denver Arts & Venues, Shanna Shelby, Program Administrator at the McNichols Civic Center Building, and their support team for their help in making Dorothy’s Lumonics Mind Spa installation such a success.
Thank you to Brooke F. Dilling, Becky Grupe, and Suzi Q. Smith.
Dorothy was 95 years old when she received the award.
