COLUMBUS, Ind. — As the opening weekend for Exhibit Columbus nears, contractors working on one of a very unique Miller Prize projects expect to finish installing the piece early next week.
Taylor Bros. Construction estimates that “Interoculus” — a canopy-like structure designed by Practice for Architecture and Urbanism — will be complete on Tuesday, said project manager Brian Starnes. The exhibit is located at Fourth and Washington streets.
“We anticipate the intersection opening Tuesday, sometime Tuesday, and possibly some intermediate opening in between Friday and Tuesday, kind of just depending on how painting progresses,” Starnes said. “That’s a bit of an unknown, at this point in time, on whether or not we could do some partial openings.”
He said Wednesday that “steel support structure installation” would continue over the next couple of days, with the company expecting to have the structure up by Friday. Painting is expected to start today, with the fabric covering added to the piece on Tuesday.
