Brendan Fernandes 'Build Up the House II' lights up Times Square

Times Square is lighting up this month with a new site-specific installation from multidisciplinary artist Brendan Fernandes. The Kenyan-born Fernandes, who is known for other light-based and musically-inspired activation/installation work, says the inspiration comes from his East African heritage and love for house music. This is an expansion of work that was originally shown as part of Chicago's ART on the MART program last fall. 

There will be a special dance party held tonight (March 14th) at 11:30 PM to kick off the installation, which runs until March 31st.
