This Sunday March 24, Doug Aitken will stage "MIRROR", his latest Happening, at the Seattle Art Museum. Like his "SONG 1" Happening at the Hirshhorn in DC last year, Aitken's latest project was conceived with the building's architecture in mind. His goal is to transform the facade of the museum into a living entity of LEDs that reacts to the changing environment, like weather data and pedestrian traffic, of the surrounding city.

In addition to the facade installation, musicians from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra will play compositions from Terry Riley and Steve Reich, and a series of conversations will be held within the museum. 

The Happening will be unveiled on March 24 at 6:30pm. More info is available from the Seattle Art Museum
