The work titled Escenario en Contrucción (Stage under Construction) by Colombian sculptor Oswaldo Maciá will be on display in the city of Bogota from the month of January, 2017. The piece integrates a sound proposal composed with more than 1900 species of migratory birds in the middle of a busy, chaotic and vertiginous setting. With this project, Oswaldo Maciá won the First Museo a Cielo Abierto International Competition in 2015, organized by Empresas Públicas de Bogota and the Colombian Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Sport and associated entities. The competition was aimed at adding a new work to the collection of sculptures and monuments in the public space of the Capital District, selected through a public call and placed on the roundabout in Carrera 3 and Calle 19 in the sector of Las Aguas. The international jury was formed by Cuauhtémoc Medina (Mexico), curator and art critic; Lucrecia Cappitelli (Italy), researcher with a doctoral degree in Art History from the Sapienza-Università di Roma, in Italy; Ana Patricia Gómez (Colombia), architect of the Architectural Association in London; and Fernando Cortés (Colombia) , architect with a master's degree in Urbanism from the Université de Paris. According to the jury, they selected the project Escenario en Construcción (Stage under Construction) because: "It is proposed as a poetic moment amid the daily traffic noise, and as an experience within the urban context beyond its mere function of space for transiting between different areas of the city." Following the announcement by the jury of experts, the winner was given a purse of one hundred million pesos granted by Transportadora de Gas Internacional (TGI), the Colombian Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Sport, the Instituto Distrital de Patrimonio Cultural, IDPC, and the Fundación Escuela Taller de Colombia. The construction of the work began in 2015, and the current administration initiated the process of installation in the month of November of 2016. Chosen from among 89 other proposals, the work by Oswaldo Maciá consists of five cubes and five cones made of steel that also serve as megaphones to project and amplify the sounds of 1,900 bird species from Colombia. Like an urban watch, the piece would announce during the last minute of each hour the end and the beginning of the 60 minutes period. Adrian Searle said about the piece by Maciá: "At the 59th minute of each hour there will be an interruption, as predictable as the clock in city hall, the chamber of the church, the muezzin's call to prayer, the factory siren or the canyon at the port. Just listen. I do not ask for a minute of silence, just a minute of your attention. I have read that Colombia has the most diversity of birds in the world. All those species, all those songs, cries and alarms; all those silences… that is, of course, if you can hear them." The work erected at the roundabout in Las Aguas can be heard from 7 am to 7 pm, each hour during the 59 minute. It is an invitation to stop, to listen and let the sounds of birds surprise you in the middle of traffic, businesses, and the crowded downtown area of the city of Bogota, Colombia.
