Multiple Voices by Eva Schlegel

European artist Eva Schlegel’s newest public sculpture — her first in the United States — is a love letter to Oklahoma Contemporary’s new building and to Oklahoma City. Schlegel was intrigued by our building and the quality of light in Oklahoma City when she attended the opening of our inaugural exhibition, Bright Golden Haze, which included her large-scale photograph that captured the poetics of space. 

Multiple Voices stands 16 feet high and 34 feet wide, featuring polished and translucent surfaces to catch and reflect the sharp light of Oklahoma’s open sky and the surrounding environment. The sculpture incorporates text from Oklahoma-connected writers: Steve Bellin-Oka, Kimberly Blaeser and Joy Harjo. These poems appear blurred on glass panels, cryptic to the viewers but essential to the sculpture’s intent.

Covering an impressive 25,000 square feet, FunBox is a playground of gigantic proportions. Here, you’ll find thrilling features like the Temple Tower, Marshmallow Mountain, and more, all designed for kids and kids-at-heart to bounce their hearts out.

FunBox operates for a limited time each year, typically during the fall and spring. In 2023, they will be open every weekend in Norman outside Sooner Mall, concluding on November 26th. Given Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather, FunBox takes safety seriously. They close their doors during extreme heat and inclement weather conditions, ensuring that your visit is enjoyable and secure. So, before planning your trip, it’s always a good idea to check the weather forecast. During the off-season, the park takes a well-deserved break and returns to delight visitors when the weather is nice again.

The journey of FunBox is a story of family, creativity, and a commitment to fostering fun and togetherness. It’s an enchanting place where you can let your inner child run free and where you’ll create cherished memories with friends and family. Bouncing your way through FunBox is an adventure you will want to experience! Learn more and get your tickets at FunBox.com.
