Sky Gate by Isamu Noguchi

Tourist attraction β€’ Sculpture

πŸ‘πŸ‘ A must see for astronomy lovers. The astronomical structure only casts a circle during Lahaina Noon (time in the tropics when the sun it at its perfect zenith and no shadows are cast for vehicle objects). These photos were taken on Lahaina Noon, May 27, 2023.

    Large abstract black futuristic sculpture. Like elsewhere in Honolulu, very few benches. No water fountains. Chill area, people bring their dogs. A small homeless encampment across the alley.

    We happened to be in town for Lahaina noon and this was a great place to be for it.

    I saw Sky Gate sculpture near the City Hall. The whole area is a park and we'll kept. Just walking through here was a pleasant experience. I saw almost no one except a couple homeless fellows.

    Went to see the Christmas decorations at the Honolulu Hale. Then went to see the displays near the Skygate sculpture.

    A monstrosity of industrial arrogance. This is Noguchi at his worst..all in your face. A black β€˜toilet bowl in the sky’ is how I’ve heard it called. But the crafty trickster artist embedded a hidden message. A spiritual blessing on Lahaina Noon when the wavy curvy top suddenly is transformed into a perfected shadowy circle. A blessing from spirits above (Hawaiian mythology) at a precisely astronomical moment in our rotational revolving trajectory. I was called recently on July 15th at the precise moment of 12:37 pm when the whole Fasi park was in Lot Hula mood. Visitors chomping down plate lunches all while magic transpired. Is this Isamu at his best..? I am now a believer!
