Consisting of the land in its entirety, as well as a series of eighty-four kinetic and interactive sculptures that invoke the land’s histories and vast network of interrelations, "Orisons" opens to the public on Saturday, July 29, 2023 with a celebration from 4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m (Mountain Time) at the Frontier Drive-Inn in Center, Colorado.
