  Rain Bow: View With Blinds Open

  title Rain Bow: View With Blinds Open 

  description San Diego Natural History Museum  San Diego-based artist Roman de Salvo created four distinct installations for inSITE94 at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Titled "Rain Bow/Arco de lluvia," "Santa Ana," "Exits/Salidas," and "Mouse Hole/Ratonera," respectively, the pieces were located in areas of the museum not normally used for exhibition. Drawing attention to the marginal with a certain measure of wit, de Salvo's minimal yet rich interjections invited visitors to contemplate freely, without detailed exposition from the artist. With "Rain Bow" engaging the drinking fountain pulls a cord which opens the shutter blinds, revealing an image of a rainbow over the park directly outside the museum.  Sculpture and Installations  Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca)  This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 03, Item 088)  [Title, Date].
