Last year I spent some time with Josh Weiner as he prepared for his art installation at the south end of the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge. The bridge wasn’t completed yet, and the area that now features his giant steel rings was a tangle of overgrowth and invasive species. Matt Perry, of Riverside Outiftters, and I biked around with Weiner, talking about Richmond and it’s relationship to the James River.

There are 8 rings in Weiner’s ‘The Path Untraveled.’

Personally I’m a huge fan of Weiner’s “The Path Untraveled,” the installation he produced, and I can’t wait to see how it, and the landscaping around it, change with the seasons. So, I’m excited that Weiner is coming back to Richmond for a kind of public unveiling of his art and discussion about it. This Sunday at 1 p.m., the public is invited to join members of the site team and Public Art Commission to meet Josh, hear about his vision for the artwork and his process and celebrate the wonderful new addition to this public open space.

Parking is available at the Floodwall entrance at 7th and Semmes or take the T.Tyler Potterfield Bridge from Brown’s Island. Attendees will gather for remarks and a talk with the artist at the base of the path closest to the Floodwall.
