UPDATE - 'The Passage' leaves Burien
The Burien Interim Art Space is no more as the largest sculpture. "The Passage" was trucked away on Thursday, Dec. 17.
Smaller sculptures were removed over the weekend.
The space behind the Burien Town Square was used as a year-long art space after it was decided to put on hold the next phase of Town Square condominiums, because of the poor housing market.
It was below freezing last year when artists Karen Cusolito and Dan Dossmann from California installed the mother and child figures that make up the Passage artwork.
The large sculpture previously appeared at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. Cusolito joked on Wednesday that the next time she does a year-long sculpture installation in the Northwest it will be from July to June, not January to December.
They have to dig out the dirt around the sculptures and unbolt them from the concrete anchors in the ground.

Burien "Art":
Good riddance. That so-called art was so awful it must have caused kids all over Burien to suffer nightmares. The "powers that be" in Burien have little sense when it comes to art. For instance: Placing the Tsutakawa fountain from the old library in a completely unprotected space at the new library. I took one look and said, "This isn't going to work." And how about that silly clock and the unreadable lettering on the arch at 152nd and 1st Avenue? Absolutely clueless!
clueless
I really feel bad that you think that that your very negative attitude is the norm for Burien look around you it is getting better all of the time, why don`t you move somewhere else or open up your business some where else we just don`t need you and your negative attitude here.
