Appreciation towards Mark Reigelman for providing the following description:

这个由纽约布鲁克林艺术家Mark Reigelman完成的临时装置“阅读巢”，其灵感来自神话对象和知识象征：知识之树和智慧之鹰。阅读巢是介于森林和动物之间的媒介，颇具神话性的象征着成长，社会，知识。该巢的制作使用到了10000块丢弃的工业制造木板和40000颗钉子。团队中5名同性恋队员花了10天工夫完成。成品13英尺高和36英尺宽。

Overall:
The Reading Nest is a temporary site specific installation by Mark Reigelman inspired by mythical objects and symbols of knowledge.

10000块丢弃的工业制造木板中，有6000块被涂成金色，整个阅读巢是金色版子和原木色板子的组合。内部完全金色。这个阅读巢在白天给与人们不同的体验感。金色来源于传说中百兽之王格里芬的颜色。格里芬是一只具有传奇色彩的半狮半鹰神兽。由于狮子是百兽之王,老鹰是百鸟之王,因此格里芬就象征着力量和威严。格里芬作为雕塑出现在美国很多建筑中，比如克利夫兰公共图书馆入口处。

Concept:
For centuries objects in nature have been associated with knowledge and wisdom. Trees of enlightenment and scholarly owls have been particularly prominent in this history of mythological objects of knowledge. The Reading Nest is a visual intermediary between forest and fowl. It symbolizes growth, community and knowledge while continuing to embody mythical roots.

Process and Specs:
The Reading Nest was created with discarded wood boards that were obtained through local Cleveland industrial and manufacturing sources. A basic wooden 2″x4″ armature was built and reinforced with 200′ of steel cable. The armature was cladded with over 10,000 discarded palette boards which were held in place by approximately 40,000 nails. It took a team of 5 guys 10 full days to complete the installation. The final work stands approximately 13′ tall and 36′ wide.

Color:
The Reading Nest is comprised of 10,000 reclaimed boards. 4,000 of these boards were left raw and weathered while 6,000 were painted with a gold exterior paint. The exterior of the nest is a combination of raw boards and golden boards while the interior is completely covered in golden boards. During the day the installation offers a powerful glow and an intense experience for visitors. This color choice was inspired by the legendary Griffin. This king of beasts, with the rear body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, is said to have made it’s nest of pure gold and, as such, protected it ferociously. The Griffin is regularly seen sculpted from stone and standing guard at the entrances of civic buildings across the country including The Cleveland Public Library.

The project is presented by the Cleveland Public Library and LAND studio
