On View September 2017 - March 2018

Concurrent with the exhibition Sea of Vulnerability, RUAG presents Brandon Ballengée’s light emitting sculpture Love Motel for Insects.

Standing at 12 feet high by 15 feet long, Love Motel for Insects is an ongoing series of public art installations intended to construct situations between humans and arthropods. Inspired by the wings of a green darner dragonfly (Anax junius), this sculpture utilizes ultraviolet light to attract nocturnal insects on large sculpted canvases creating an opportunity for public interactions with nocturnal arthropods, which are not often seen.

This installation will be on view from September 2017 - March 2018. For the best viewing experience, visit after sunset.
