Legendary Environmental Artist Mary Miss's new project to work with the White River in Indianapolis

(text from local newspaper)

More than 100 markers and oversized map pins -- called installations -- from Broad Ripple to White River State Park help viewers understand the river's role in their daily lives and what they can do to preserve it.

The project, called "FLOW: Can You See the River?", was commissioned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

It pairs with a three-week White River Watershed Festival to focus on the river and the environment.

Miss, a New York-based artist whose public works address many issues of our time, spent two years developing her project with the help of area scientists, educators and humanists.
