Creek Show

Creek Show is an annual 10-day festival of luminescent art installations along a stretch of Waller Creek in downtown Austin. The event raises the visibility of the planned Waller Creek Park District, an ambitious vision to revitalize both the creek and a chain of parks. Installations were selected by a jury of creek stakeholders. Our team’s submittal for the show comprised of common iconic poolside furniture treated with a DayGlo powder-coat finish, activated by high intensity LED black lights. The installation encouraged more than 15,000 attendees to experience an immersive cabana club in a wet and wild urban setting. A neon sign both enticed and cautioned visitors: NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY.

Work completed while Colter Sonneville was employed as a senior associate at Asakura Robinson.
