Interactive Art at the 2008 Ravinia Festival
Local artist Jeff Zimmerman's Living Art series adds a rare element of audience interaction at the Ravinia Festival's annual summer concerts. Zimmerman's specialty is in interactive art----specifically in murals that require observers to actively influence the art itself. Tanishq, a jewelry retailer in Schaumburg, sponsors Zimmerman in the next two events of the series. Tanishq and Zimmerman hope to meld their creative spirit with that of the concertgoers by communally creating a mural before the concerts begin. The first communal event featuring Zimmerman and Tanishq takes place on Saturday, August 16th from 5pm to 7:30pm. Their time together continues during the Tony Bennett concert on August 23rd.
