Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
Broaden my knowledge, skills and expertise in creating durable, interactive sculptures suitable for outdoor/public display. These pieces will be successfully produced by researching materials and processes and by connecting with other sculptors who have done outdoor work to help identify ways to overcome the challenges inherent in producing outdoor, interactive sculpture. 2: The audiences activating the sculpture will include elementary public school students and attendees of a gallery exhibition. I will be documenting the two events during which the sculpture will be viewed and activated by the two groups. This documentation will include photographs and short videos.
The outcome of this project was a mobile, interactive sculpture made of welded steel, wood cabinetry, and drawers. The sculpture was exhibited at two events during the grant period. 2: Over 925 public elementary students, teachers and adults engaged and interacted with the work of Minnesota artist, Scott Szarkowicz during the grant period. Documentation included photographs and short videos made during two separate exhibitions.
