Tiffany Holmes was awarded a 2010 Rhizome commission on June 29th to produce solarCircus. The solarCircus project is a collection of related creative activities: hands-on workshops, nomadic solar-powered urban interventions, and online performances that explore sun-powered art. Interns TC Eley and Real Chen will begin working with Holmes this July to begin production on the installation component of this project.
Join me on Thursday June 25th to discuss the ways in which technology has changed public art;
has it become a burden or a blessing, and where will public art go next?
My fellow panelists will include Hamza Walker, Daniel Sauter, and
Moderator Nathan Mason.
These free events are presented as part of HPAC’s 70 Days for 70 Years anniversary
celebration.

On May 7 and 8, I had a wonderful opportunity to participate in year-end critiques for the Sam Fox School of Art at Washington University in St. Louis. Thanks to my good friend Professor Patricia Olynyk for the invitation, and to my fellow jurors David Salow, owner of David Salow Gallery and Charlotte Eyerman, Curator of Modern Art at SLAM for making the conversation so interesting. The MFA thesis work was really very impressive, and what a lovely space in the Kemper Museum in which to view it.
