“Luminaries” by LAB at The Rockwell Group
In honor of the celebration of Hanukkah, we thought it festive to share the lanterns at Brookfield Place! The display titled “Luminaries” was created by LAB at Rockwell Group, a design studio focused on creating “memorable and evocative experiences by merging story, architecture, and technology.” Unlike other light shows, spectators are able to control the colors of the lanterns themselves or they can sit back and observe one of the scheduled light shows. Located in the Winter Garden in Brookfield place, this display is available to enjoy throughout the holiday season until January 6!

Immigration: America's Economic Opportunity
“What if They Bark?” by Cosima von Bonin
After a day filled with legal work, we decided to take a leisurely stroll along the High Line. To our surprise, we encountered a delightful scene—a school of fish engaged in a performance! Crafted by German artist Cosima von Bonin these fish are arranged like a military band, holding musical instruments and checkered missiles. Von Bonin, who has a deep interest in marine life, frequently incorporates these whimsical aquatic creatures into her art.
This light-hearted installation was inspired by the classical statue arrangements seen in ancient Greek temples. However, departing from the customary depictions of gods and heroes, the artist places sea creatures on land, engaging in human-like activities such as playing music. Fortunately for von Bonin's fans, she has created numerous similar installations and sculptures, which have been housed in the past at prestigious New York art institutions such as MoMA and the Petzel Gallery.
