This is the first public artwork by Mr. Oppenheim Installed In the Pacific Northwest. The work was commissioned as part of a public exhibition facility development project at the Expo Center. Stage Set is a multi-component metal sculpture that is shown in extreme scale, a trademark of Oppenheim's landscape work. La Paloma studio in Sun Valley, California, fabricated the work. The sculpture is an assemblage of human furniture enlarged to proportions of architecture- a household table lamp resembles a giant beacon like a lighthouse. "The function of the work is meant to be mysterious, allowing viewers the freedom to explore its meaning," said creator Oppenheim. "I prefer to think of the work as an event sculpture. This approach employs numerous elements, allowing one element to interact with another image, as if they were performers In a theatre drama.”
