Art History
The Great Rotumpkin • A Spooktacular Halloween Projection
Dancing skeletons, spooky pumpkins, bubbling cauldrons and a haunted house will all make appearances on the exterior of UVA’s Rotunda this weekend in celebration of Halloween this year!!
The projection mapping show, a type of art installation, will be on view Friday - Tuesday evenings, October 27-31, from 7 to 11pm. The display will take place on the University Avenue side of the Rotunda and is open to the public.
Vignettes accompanied by haunting music will cycle over the outside of the centerpiece of the University, transforming the iconic building into a massive movie screen. The mini-shows might transform the Rotunda into a graveyard with jolly, dancing skeletons, a haunted house or an animated Halloween music box, with a rising moon and rotating, ghoulish pumpkins, caldrons, and purple skulls. You will have to come see to find out!!
