There and Back Again reception

blog_DFS-reception.jpgWe had the reception for the Art Through Architecture commission, There and Back Again, yesterday evening at the offices of the National Center for Drug Free Sport in Kansas City.

A good crowd of architects, artists, critics, and patrons showed up to view the piece and to hear a brief talk about the project by myself, Kate Hackman (Charlotte Street Fund), Josh Shelton (el dorado architects), and Frank Uryasz (Drug Free Sport).

A great spread of local cheese was provided by Tony Glamcevski and his Green Dirt Farm.

The Drug Free Sport commission piece is finally installed. There are a couple more color tweeks to be done on it but it's currently on view nonetheless. 

There will be an open house and possible artist discussion about it held for local architects, critics, and DFS employees sometime within the next couple of months.

This is the final Photoshop mockup for the three-channel video commissioned by the National Center for Drug Free Sport. The video animation is still in the works but will hopefully be done within the next couple of weeks.

I've got another mockup of the monitor layout for the new commissioned piece for Drug Free Sport. We've decided to pursue the idea of a vertical layout which means I have to retinker the animation composition to account for vertical rather than horizontal movement.

I'm finally getting some animation tests done for the commission for Drug Free Sport. We're going to be creating a three-channel monitor piece for their new main reception area. The video sketch above is a composite of all three 16:9 images.

commission for Drug Free Sport lobby

AtA-NCDFS-sketch-1circle.jpgI found out yesterday that I was awarded the commission to create art for the lobby of the National Center for Drug Free Sport. I'll be working with Josh Shelton of el dorado architects to create a new video piece. I proposed a multi-channel video "frieze" above the reception desk, using circular masks on the video monitors, but I have a feeling the design will change quite a bit before it's over. It's going to be a fairly quick project and will probably be completed in 4-8 weeks.

This is a direction I've wanted to take my work for some time, so I'm very excited to get started.

A couple of days ago I toured the site for the new Art Through Architecture commission for which I've been shortlisted. It's an addition on the National Center for Drug Free Sport building which el dorado is rennovating. Based on what I saw in the finsihed section of the building, this new addition is going to be absolutely beautiful.

Here's hoping they decide on adding some video to the space.
