Candy Floor Installation
http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/04/1400-square-feet-of-candy-colored-resin-layered-onto-the-floor-of-a-german-museum/Artist: Peter Zimmermann

Overview:
- Zimmerman adds colourful hues of resin to the gallery floor
- Installation composes of bright blue peach and pink resin
- Links directly to my idea for museum based installations and mural artwork to either be, promote or go alongside a key exhibition.
Artists quote:
“When I realized my first floor piece about eight years ago, it represented an attempt to break with the shiny surface of the synthetic resin works,” said Zimmermann in a conversation with German journalist Till Briegleb. “The fact that visitors actually walk on it necessarily means that the surface will get scratched, destroyed. It develops a kind of patina as a result. Trainers leave scuff marks, high heels leave scratches. All of which are all interesting relicts…. I think that these traces correspond to the brush strokes of the oil paintings.”
