The Listening Device Rises Again!

 
Happy to report that as of today at 11 am, Louise Taylor's Listening Device has risen again.

It has been three years in the making and I am extremely happy that her invention can be seen by a whole new generation of people.

There are so many people that have been instrumental in this ongoing project. Louise Taylor. Mel Mann. B. J. Butler. Clara McClendon. Richard Crowe, Virginia Sowell. Lisa Alembik. Antonio Hernandez. Steve and Paulette Minor and the Art on the Beltline folks.

It has truly been a labor of love. May their story touch each who visits.

Louise Taylor to be included in Art on the Beltline 2014

I am happy to report that "The Louise Taylor Listening Device" has been selected to be a part of the Art on the Beltline 2014 in Atlanta, GA.

It is important to know the original location where Louise constructed this structure is just down the tracks from the new site and near Piedmont Park....a place where she and Mel spent some of their best days together and where their ashes were scattered.

I am busy, with the help of my assistant, reconstructing this "device" utilizing salvaged original materials with new stabilizing materials.

The opening for Art on the Beltline 2014 is September 6.
The work will be up through November 2.
The piece will be located off Monroe Drive near the entrance to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and Piedmont Park.

I will post more information as time nears.
