Amaechi Okigbo presented a master plan for the North Carolina
Museum of Art in October. The NCMA is planning to implement a new
model for an innovative environmental art park that integrates works
of art into the landscape, while providing a venue for artists whose
works focus on the natural world for inspiration, materiality and
as a point of departure. The Museum Park will foster the creation
of new installations by providing a venue for experimental projects
in the landscape and by facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations
between artists, architects, landscape architects, and environmental
scientists.
