Using twelve pieces of seating stones, artist Jonathan Bonner created an inviting “Zen” space outside the center. The concept of this piece can be described as a “convention of stones,” which may be enjoyed when looking out from the lobby as well as walking down the sidewalk. These granite seating stones are scattered over the five lawn areas next to the main entrance, so that attendees may sit and talk with each other between events or during lunch. This inviting and calm environment allows attendees to step away from their event for a moment and enjoy the fresh air outside. As a result, Mr. Bonner has given the public a collection of compelling forms to experience while visiting the Colorado Convention Center.
