OPUS 46 is an Oklahoma-based creative collaborative specializing in site-specific public art that reveals and celebrates untold stories of people and places.
Headed by Canadian-American interdisciplinary artist M.J. Alexander and award-winning Oklahoma composer Edward Knight, OPUS 46 projects amplify and illuminate facets of our collective shadowed history.
SOUND TREKKING: NORMAN builds upon the installation IN THEIR WORDS, Alexander’s 2021 public art project in Andrews Park incorporating path engravings and steel stencil sculptures to celebrate a century of insights from Norman residents. Both projects aim to spark civic pride, bolster an authentic sense of place, and ignite the imagination by expanding the boundaries of where, when and how communities encounter art. The installations offer new perspectives in familiar surroundings and beckon visitors to participate as creative partners, collaborating on designing and re-designing new experiences through repeated exploration.
