  • Continuing this week’s look through FOR-SITE’s past 15 years, today we’re visiting 2014 when we transformed Alcatraz Island with the monumental works of one of the greatest artists of our time, @aiww. Nearly 900,000 people experienced “@ Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz,” and over 7,000 tickets were distributed to underserved schools and community groups. The exhibition became a watershed moment for FOR-SITE, guiding us toward an ethos of social engagement that continues to shape our projects and exhibitions. __ Partnerships have always been a cornerstone of FOR-SITE’s work. Indeed, “@ Large” was a tremendous undertaking for us, and we couldn’t have done it without the support and collaboration of our project partners @nationalparkservice and @Parks4All. The exhibition also relied heavily on volunteer support. @aiww’s iconic “Trace” installation was assembled largely through the work of volunteers — 82 in all! And finally, to make the exhibition truly come to life, we turned to a dedicated corps of Art Guides. If you visited the exhibition, chances are your experience of it was made all the richer by their insights and thoughtful engagement. __ Help FOR-SITE as we prepare for another 15 years of presenting boundary-pushing #ArtAboutPlace by making a donation today. Follow the link in our profile to make an online donation.
  • Today we’re heading all the way back to FOR-SITE’s origins up in Nevada City on our 50-acre residency site. The residency program ran from 2005 - 2009, and saw FOR-SITE collaborating with a range of institutional partners to select artists and present the work created during the residencies. Included here are images from @Corneliaparkerartist’s “Anti-Mass” exhibited at @ybca from her 2005 residency; Shi Guorui’s exhibition “Reproduction and Refashioning” at @deyoungmuseum created during his 2006 residency; and @markdionstudio’s “The Marvelous Museum” at @oaklandmuseumca that the artist developed as part of his 2009 residency. __ More information about these and other FOR-STIE residency projects is available via the link in our profile.
  • This week we’re hopscotching through FOR-SITE’s history to highlight some of our favorite moments of our past 15 years. Although we were founded in 2003, we’re kicking things off with a visit to 2008 and the installation of #AndyGoldsworthy’s “Spire” in @presidiosf. Beloved by the Bay Area community, “Spire,” became a hallmark of FOR-SITE’s work to highlight the unique history of our parklands. __ When “Spire” was first installed, the reforested trees around it were barely more than saplings. A decade later, almost half the height of “Spire”’s 90ft are obscured by the trees. Eventually, the whole of “Spire” will be hidden within a mature forest of trees — no longer a visible landmark on our landscape, but a beautiful monument of its history. __ If you’ve enjoyed FOR-SITE projects such as “Spire,” consider making a year-end donation to help support our future exhibitions. Follow the link in our profile to make an online donation. __ #ArtAboutPlace
  • 2018 marks FOR-SITE’s 15th anniversary! From our founding in 2003 hosting artist residencies in Nevada City to the large-scale public art exhibitions that followed, FOR-SITE has consistently pushed the boundaries of “art about place.” Help us celebrate and get us ready for the next 15 years by making a donation this #GivingTuesday. To make a gift online, visit the link in our profile. As a thank you for your support, we’d love for you to stop by our office and select a commemorative FOR-SITE item from our archives, including Ai Weiwei books and exhibition swag, “Sanctuary” socks and catalogues, and more. Lastly, don’t forget to stay tuned throughout the week for posts sharing some of our favorite moments from the past 15 years! #ArtAboutPlace
