Pop-Up Art Loop is responsible for the half-dozen installations in empty storefronts you can see sprinkled throughout the Loop this month. This video from Treehugger focuses on the coolest idea—an indoor garden. Noisivelvet, Art Advisory LTD, and Turnstone teamed up to create Alterpolitan: An Indoor Sculpture Garden, which brings plants, sculptures, and outdoor furniture to the building's lobby. The goal is to create a social space to stroll through on your lunch break or engage in conversations about art.
