Arne Quinze’s works flourishes when he creates conflict and contrast between seemingly illogical juxtapositions of old and new, the natural and man-made, or simply status quo and an a tabula rasa of original thought. His works are designed to evoke emotion, to spark conversation, to make people stop in their tracks and reevaluate their perceptions of the world. His installations have the ability to bring people together, connect and communicate.

Arne Quinze’s vision calls for turning what is to become a pedestrian bridge over the Ohio River into one that will be a timeline of local history, with markers along the way, transmogrifying the purpose and aesthetics of the Big Four Bridge that connects downtown Louisville with Jeffersonville, Indiana. It will have music and lights powered by solar cells embedded in a mass cloud of red and unpainted wooden planks that would wind through the six arched steel spans atop the bridge. “It’s a huge project, but I believe in it,” Arne Quinze said. “We can do it and it would work.”
