DOTHAN, Ala. — The Wiregrass Museum of Art (WMA) is pleased to announce the presentation of Sun Boxes, an immersive outdoor sound installation by contemporary artist Craig Colorusso, on Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Sun Boxes invites visitors to step into a tranquil sonic environment designed for wandering, pausing, and reflection. The installation features twenty solar-powered speakers, each playing a continuous loop of a single guitar note. Together, the notes form a B♭ chord that slowly evolves as the loops — each a different length — overlap and shift over time. Often described as both soothing and energizing, the work encourages participants to slow down, listen closely, and experience the subtle, ever-changing nature of sound as the composition unfolds.
A special live performance by the artist will accompany the installation from 4:30–6:30 p.m. inside the WMA galleries.
We hope to see you there!
