Dorchester has the giant inflatable lock and now Fenway has the giant inflatable tie-dyed thing

Colorful inflatable thing on the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Jess Idres shows us what's sprouted on one side of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. As the museum explains:

Fenway Deity is part of the Garden Deities series created by Ken Smith. The large inflatable installation, with a psychedelic spiral pattern and gold chain, will hang from the historic façade of the Museum facing the Boston Fens. Deity riffs on the Gardner’s large wheel window on the building’s rear façade, forming a transect line through the Museum, between the window and the installation. Spiritually speaking, Fenway Deity responds to the Museum’s 2012 relocation of its entrance to Evans Way - it will serve as a new conduit for the Museum’s creative energy to protect the Fens from bad spirits and promote environmental renewal, health, and happiness along the Fenway and beyond.

What? Since we have that fantastic art on the Greenway we have to offset it with something hideous?

Back in the day that lock deflated a number of times because it kept getting punctured with BBs. (It's more sturdy nowadays.)

They took it down before one of the hurricanes and it's never gone back up. I know because my 5 y.o. Still asks about it.

Most of the art popping up is giving me flashbacks of playing Super Mario Brothers.
