Colombian artist Juan Obando’s Summer Sets comes to Boston’s Dock Square

Colombian artist Juan Obando’s forthcoming Summer Sets installation is a project for Boston’s iconic Dock Square near Faneuil Hall that invites visitors to imagine and model alternative perspectives for monuments and public spaces with an oversized, hyper-realistic photographic image placed beside the iconic Samuel Adams statue.

Curated by Boston’s Now + There, Summer Sets challenges the view that visitors may be expecting of the monument by replacing it with another idealized, vacated cityscape, standing 28-feet wide and 16-feet tall. An LED-daylight system will illuminate the front panel at night to preserve the color and surreal intensity of the image at all times. It will be on view from July 18 to August 19 in Dock Square, located between City Hall and Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market at the intersection of Congress St and North Street.
