"A Butterfly for Brooklyn," Pyrotechnic Performance by Artist Judy Chicago in Prospect Park

The Brooklyn Museum in partnership with the Prospect Park Alliance present A Butterfly for Brooklyn, a monumental  pyrotechnic performance piece by artist Judy Chicago, whose work The  Dinner Party has become a feminist icon, in Prospect Park at twilight on Saturday, April 26 (approximately 7:30 p.m.)




A Butterfly for Brooklyn will transform the imagery the artist used in The Dinner Party into a 20 minute fusion of color and dazzling visual effects in Prospect Park’s Long Meadow. It will measure approximately 200 by 180 feet and will appear to levitate, swirl, and move.


The project is an outdoor component of the exhibition

Chicago in L. A.: Judy Chicago’s Early Work, 1963–74.
