Artists + Work

Collaboration led by Suzanne Lacy

A small farming community in the San Joaquin Valley is the focus of a multidisciplinary art and design project developed by Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles.

Led by Suzanne Lacy, noted artist, author and Chair of the Otis Graduate Public Practice program, Otis students traveled to Laton in August 2008 to explore how art could support local agendas and contribute to the small and struggling rural community.

Mark Bradford's "Crow" | Article from ARTINFO



"'Crow' is Bradford's most direct engagement with Robert Rauschenberg,
whose combines of the 1950s and 1960s are full of birds.''  It is part of a touring
exhibition of Bradford's work which just left the ICA in Boston and is organized
by the Wexner Center for the Arts, The Ohio State University.

Chin says the aesthetic of "Revival Field," the name for the field trials project, "relates to my interest in alchemy and my understanding of transformative processes and the mutable nature of materials. The contaminated soil is transformed back into rich earth, capable of sustaining a diverse ecosystem."

Conceptually this work is envisioned as a sculpture involving the reduction process, a traditional method when carving wood or stone.

Andy Goldsworthy at deCordova

DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum has approved a proposal from internationally renowned sculptor Andy Goldsworthy for a commissioned work called Snow House. Goldsworthy is known for site-specific works that emphasize the environmental landscape.  "According to the artist, “the work is not an object, but a container—a forum for change, memory, replenishment, season—in which the construction and care of the object, along with its interaction with people, are integral to the work.” - from the deCordova website.

 

Watch Andy Goldsworthy discuss his upcoming project.
