Jaume Plensa: Genus and Species highlights eight large-scale works, completed between 2004 and 2009









For the past two decades, Plensa has been investigating the intimate interconnection between nature and culture through large-scale sculptures and installations that incorporate light, sound, and text in transparent, often interactive structures, such as the renowned Crown Fountain at Millennium Park in Chicago. Taking many forms and utilizing a variety of modes of production, Plensa’s work offers a visceral experience of the nexus between art, language, biology, and metaphysics.
