The Arizona Republic is reporting that an error in the fabric for the crowning jewel artwork of the new Downtown Phoenix Civic Space park will cause a delay in the installation schedule for Janet Echelman’s “Her Secret is Patience.”
Installation is expected to be delayed one to two weeks but will not add to the cost of the $2.4 million project, said Ed Lebow, a public art program manager for Phoenix. “It was a simple mistake in interpreting the plans,” he said.
In my Twitter update upon learning this news, I said that “this sucks.” But on the bright side, those who were away from ASU over the spring recess will get to see history in the making.
