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.Mary Miss: March 26
Mary Miss (Artpark artist in 1976) has reshaped the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, landscape design, and installation, articulating a vision of engagement for the public sphere. In 2009, Miss founded City as Living Laboratory, creating a framework for making issues of sustainability and climate change tangible through the arts. Her work has been shown at the Guggenheim Museum, the Sculpture Center, and the Des Moines Art Center. Miss has been recognized by numerous awards, including a fellowship from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Urban Land Institute's Global Award for Excellence and the 2017 Bedrock of New York City Award.Mary Miss and her non-profit City as Living Laboratory have developed a plan for Artpark Laboratory which will transform Artpark into a place where artists are offered opportunities to develop strategies that advance environmental awareness, literacy and sustainable development. The plan was launched with an installation curated by Mary Miss currently at Artpark: Bower by Ellen Driscoll and Joyce Hwang in 2016, currently on display at Artpark. Next steps are awaiting funding.Visit www.artpark.net for more information on this event and the Artpark Idea Series
