9 Spaces 9 Trees

Robert Irwin's "9 Spaces 9 Trees" art installation which used to be located at the Public Safety Building is being relocated to the lawn behind my workplace. It's been interesting watching the progress since it's right outside my window. Essentially the old lawn was built above the parking garage so they have to do alot of roofing and sealing to make sure things don't leak into the garage below. Nothing has happened there for weeks, until today when I came in and saw tons of workers and this giant crane-like thing. It dawned on me that pouring concrete must have been the next step and since the concrete workers have been on strike there was nothing else that could be done. The lawn space is between the west side of Odegaard Library and the Henry Art Gallery.
