rain soul studio
A Space to Place art installation, “Fractured Light”, by artist Brooke Moore has been mounted on the back of the Rockman building since 2018. The Rockman building is located on the corner of N. 27th Street and 2nd Avenue N. The building itself is about to be demolished in preparation for a new downtown hotel project. The demolition of the building left many wondering what the future held for this art installation. Moore was considering letting the piece go the way of the building but fellow artists, Krista and Mike Pasini, offered to become stewards of the piece and intend to mount it in the outdoor space connected to their new downtown studio they are relocating to. The Pasinis own Rain Soul Studio, a bespoke wellness studio that offers; movement and mindfulness classes and workshops, nutrition advocacy, coaching and mentoring, performative events, and more. They opened originally in the Grand Building above Jake’s Downtown but are relocating to a larger studio space but have not yet publicly shared the location of their new downtown studio space while they work on transforming the space.
The Pasini team worked together with the Artist Brooke Moore, the Rockman building owners, the Big Sky Economic Development folks and the owners of their location to acquire and relocate the artwork. They have safely brought down each of the four foot sections and have all 10 stored until later this summer when they will begin work on the outdoor area of the new studio.
Fractionated Light was installed in 2018 with the help of her late father, Dan Sayer. Sayer is pictured installing the piece in this Billings Gazette Article More art installations are cropping up in downtown Billings (Aug 2018).
