  • “…having to work, to earn a certain image, feels right. If it comes too easy, it might be suspect.” . . . A little inspiration for your Thursday, courtesy of artist #AbelardoMorell. Check out the full video, created for FOR-SITE’s past exhibition “International Orange” by visiting FOR-SITE’s YouTube channel (link in bio). There you’ll find many other artist interviews and interesting tidbits from our projects and programs over the years. #ArtAboutPlace #TBT
  • Deeply saddened to learn of the destruction of one of @aiww’s Beijing studios this weekend. No notice was given, works were damaged, and memories were lost. It’s a reminder that, while he may have his passport back, Wieiwei’s fight against the injustices of the Chinese government is far from over.
  • Before closing out our 5-year “Tree Fall” anniversary, we want to give another shout-out to all the volunteers who gave their time and sweat to making “Tree Fall” possible. 5 years on and we’re still incredibly grateful for their dedication. The installation was tough, but they all jumped into those Tyvek suits, pulled on their gloves, got down and dirty with the clay, and GOT. IT. DONE. #ArtAboutPlace
  • It’s here—day 9 of our 5-year “Tree Fall” anniversary where we get to share the finished work you all know and love! After 72 hours (3 days) the work dried and cracked. The cracking pattern was natural—no scoring, carving, or coaxing on the part of the artist was done to the work (except the impeccable planning and execution of the clay production and application, of course). After about a month, dehumidifiers were installed inside the work to ensure complete drying and mitigate any potential for mold growth. In October 2013, the work was open to the public. #ArtAboutPlace
