ArtPrize 2009 entry

What happens when artist and architects collaborate – ACTIVESITE Over the last couple of years we have been involved with Activesite. Collaborating to create one night sculpture shows in unique locations. The uniqueness of the location comes from involving the local development community in utilizing existing buildings that are poised for renovation. The Fall 2009 event was conceived as an entry for the inaugural ArtPrize competition.

an idea surfaced that the ArtPrize entry could be the space itself

activesite|artspace inverts the usual art experience, instead focusing attention on the social interaction generated by the space itself. Sculpture equals walls, performance equals environment, art equals experience… you
