Art Initial Plans for Kiki Smith's Stained Glass Window for the Museum at Eldridge Street Released

Preliminary sketches for their design (pictured) surfaced last week on Design Boom and, as promised, it's all blue and Star of David-y, with a kind of swirling field of smaller stars surrounding the central motif. What's most interesting about the design is how it seems to spill over beyond the edges of the window, effectively becoming more like a mural or trompe l'oeil spanning different media and surfaces as it moves down the synagogues wall. The design is also strikingly subdued compared to Smith's usual work like, for instance, the fictional autobiographical installation she's planning for the Brooklyn Museum next month. (Art21 Blog)
