THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND
Pop into the Telluride Transfer Warehouse to meet local artist Katy Parnello, and enjoy her newest installation, an electrolier light house which acts as a lookout tower into the future of the Warehouse.
The tower’s height mimics the rooftop deck of the new building and provides a unique view into the box canyon. The lighthouse is a negative-space structure which will light up at sunset, creating a beacon to attract attention to the project.
One to two viewers are allowed at a time to personally experience the height and magnitude of the structure.
Complete with bed and record player, the tower is a private sanctuary that allows everyone to connect with the past and contemplate the future.
