Description
Artpark announces a special series of online conversations to explore
Artpark’s visual arts legacy in a modern context. The Artpark Idea
Series will feature eight notable artists connected to Artpark over six
weekly sessions to be held via Zoom. Hosted by Dr. Anthony Bannon and
Artpark’s President, Sonia Clark, attendees will be able to engage with
the artists live and proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Artpark
Live campaign.
Founded in 1974, Artpark soon became one of the
leading locations for avant-garde art and the land art movement,
inviting hundreds of artists to build temporary works on site. The
intention was to create a place where visitors became active
participants perceiving objects over time – from shifting perspectives
and in relationship to the architecture. Art, public, and site became
inextricably intertwined. Artistic creation at Artpark generated
immediate social, historical, and ecological implications that artists
embraced and incorporated into their processes. The “Artpark idea” is a
philosophy that art “belongs where it is” where the relationship between
creator and receiver is dynamic and alive.
The focus will be on the relationship between a place, its history, its people, and how we might develop our future together.
Evan Lewis: April 16
Evan Lewis (Artpark artist in 1987, 1989, 1991) has been an active artist/sculptor since 1978. Lewis’s interest in kinetic wind-powered art has led him to work primarily in metal. Equally important to his work is the incorporation of sound, which is produced through delicate wind-powered percussive components. In 1988, Lewis was commissioned to create his first large-scale wind/sound sculpture for Expo 88 in Brisbane, Australia. Numerous commissions have followed including site-specific works for universities, municipal institutions, and private collections. In 1995, several of Lewis’ sculptures were commissioned by Warner Bros. Entertainment for the major motion picture “Twister”.
