Piedmont Park Conservancy today announced the unveiling of Myriad, a new public art installation by Atlanta-based artist Gregor Turk, funded by The Antinori Foundation. Installed near the Meadow entrance to Piedmont Park from the Atlanta BeltLine, the artwork invites visitors to explore shifting perceptions of self, community and place through an immersive and reflective experience.

Composed of 36 convex security mirrors arranged in a sweeping arc, Myriad functions as a reflective observatory, offering constantly changing perspectives as viewers move through the space. The mirrors simultaneously reveal and distort their surroundings, creating moments that feel expansive and intimate, playful and contemplative. 

“Art has a powerful influence on how people experience Piedmont Park,” said Doug Widener, president and CEO of the Piedmont Park Conservancy. “We are deeply grateful to The Antinori Foundation for its generous support of Myriad and for helping bring shared cultural experiences to Atlanta’s most beloved green space.”

“Piedmont Park is part of my daily life, and I’ve always been inspired by the way people connect with the space,” said Susan Antinori, president of The Antinori Foundation. “After seeing Gregor Turk’s mirrored installation Phalanx, I knew his work would be a beautiful fit for the Park. When he showed me how Myriad would reflect the city skyline, it was an instant yes.”

An Atlanta native, Turk is known for public art installations and mixed-media works that draw on mapping imagery, signage and shared cultural memory. His permanent public artworks can be found at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Jacksonville International Airport and in numerous public and private collections. Atlanta audiences may also remember Turk’s 2013–2014 BeltLine installation Apparitions, located near the Park. 

“As people move through Myriad, they become part of the artwork itself,” said Turk. “The mirrors create a shared experience where viewers see themselves, each other and the landscape in unexpected ways.”

While Myriad is a permanent art installation, its unveiling coincides with the Conservancy’s seasonal Light Up the Season holiday display, on view now through Jan. 4, including a 50-foot Great Tree and an 8-foot Menorah and Kinara, complementing the Park’s ongoing efforts to create meaningful, shared public spaces.

Myriad is free and open to the public. For more information about Myriad and artist Gregor Turk, visit gregorturk.com. Learn more about Piedmont Park Conservancy at piedmontpark.org.
