Description
The sculpture consists of four rectilinear panels of light-emitting diode (LED) screens that each display the same animated image in orange of a woman on all four panels. The woman, "Ann," is wearing a sheath dress and sways from side to side in a dancing motion. Ann either has pointed feet or is wearing high-heeled shoes. She appears to have no clear hairstyle.
History and location
The sculpture was installed at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Alabama Street, and Vermont Street in Indianapolis from January to February, 2008. The sculpture is located directly in front of the Tavern at the Point (formerly Old Point Tavern) and was the first artwork installed on the Indianapolis Cultural Trail at a total expense of $150,000.[4]
The sculpture is visible in the Google Maps Street View, but only from the middle of the intersection[5]
I am really happy that ‘Ann Dancing’ will be in Indianapolis and become part of the street fabric. As I sit in my studio in London I think of her endlessly dancing for the passing traffic."
—Julian Opie, 2008.[4]
