If you hear music while strolling through Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate this week, that’s not a song stuck in your head — it’s actually an art exhibit.
Today through Sunday, Oct. 6, an immersive, solar-powered sound installation will be set up courtesy of acclaimed artist Craig Colorusso + LexArts.
“Sun Boxes” will see 20 solar panel-covered speakers scattered throughout the park to create a soundscape.
Each speaker, powered by the sun, will play a different looped guitar note. As the sun moves throughout the day, the loops will evolve creating a sound bath that flows between tranquil and energizing.
“We are thrilled to bring Craig Colorusso’s ‘Sun Boxes’ to Ashland,” said Executive Director Jim Clark. “This installation offers a serene and reflective experience, inviting visitors to engage with art in a deeply personal and sensory way. It’s a perfect match for the peaceful, historic grounds of Ashland.”
Don’t worry, we won’t judge if we see you lying in the park for a moment of zen — in fact, we’ll probably join you.
