  • Our communications and development manager @a_m_konecki was in Scotland the past week (lucky her!), and stopped by @jupiterartland during her travels. She was treated to some incredible work, including this installation by #AndyGoldsworthy called “Coppice Room.” Alison said the work felt very different from other Goldsworthys — very dark and almost menacing: “Walking inside, the tree trunks quickly closed in, swallowing the light. It was an interesting sensation of being somehow both swaddled and crushed by the trees.” #ArtAboutPlace
  • 😍 Gorgeous shot of the golden hour at #AndyGoldsworthy’s #WoodLine captured by @presidiosf #ArtAboutPlace #PublicArt
  • Riding high after a whirlwind weekend in L.A. capped off by this amazing lunch with @aiww yesterday. Take us back! #FORSITEOffSite
  • LOVE this shot of @aiww’s “Life Cycle” @marcianoartfoundation captured by FOR-SITE patron @aeyphanachet, who was captivated by the delicate interplay of bamboo and shadow. The work is PACKED with imagery — zodiac animals, references to Duchamp, self-portraits (as seen here), Twitter birds... ‘whew!’ This work will definitely hold you captive (and we mean that in the best way possible 😊).
