Like Dracula and (more accurately) Aurora Borealis, the newest edition to Evanston's public art collection is visible ONLY IN DARKNESS! and via photos on the Internet...
Emitting Waves by Minneapolis artist Robert W. Smart is a series of six cell-cast acrylic panels carved with images depicting the flow of glorious, flame-extinguishing water. The images appear to float. They are lit internally by computer-programmed light-emitting diodes with colors and designs that evolve slowly over time.
Emitting Waves graces the front of Evanston's newly renovated Fire Station #5, located at 2830 Central Street.
The grand opening of Fire Station #5 and the dedication of Emitting Waves will take place on Friday February 27, from 3pm to 5pm. While Emitting Waves will not be visible at this time, I can assure you that Fire Station #5 will be visible.
The mayoral ribbon cutting ceremony will be at 3:15pm. The ceremony will be one of Mayor Lorraine H. Morton's last public appearances as Mayor. Afterwards, tours of the fire station and refreshments will be provided.
Stick around until sunset at 5:39pm and see the full glory of Emitting Waves unleashed.
