Best Public Art Project of the Summer: Anna Schuleit Haber and Fitchburg, Massachusetts Newspaper

July 20, 2015 by Glenn Weiss

I love excellent type design.  Anna Schuleit Haber convinced the local paper to use the front page for 26 days to display a new letter each day by an invited artist. It is the best in public art as it 1,) interjects itself in a valued public place (front page and newsstands), 2.) establishes repetition as the method to the spark thinking through comparison and memory, 3.) utilizes a commonly … [Read more...]

whoworeitbetter.info – Freedom to Repeat

According to founders Alison Feldish and Derek Frec, the website ..... "Who Wore It Better is an ongoing visual research project presenting associations and  common practices in contemporary art.  This platform was created to promote formal and conceptual dialogue over originality."  Everyone should drop by the every month or so.

September 29, 2014 by Glenn Weiss

With Spencer Finch's new ceiling in Seattle, I was reminded of some others by Carl Cheng and Seyed Alavi.  Unfortunately, none of them compare well the late 19th century and early 20th.   At least the architects at the new Amazon.com office building created a space for the work with the illusion of extra height. The Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, between San Francisco and … [Read more...]

Modern Brick and Stone, Ann Norton and Harvey Fite

September 15, 2014 by Glenn Weiss

Two artists born two years apart in 1903 & 1905, aspired to the creation of a "place" through their art.   The next generation artists - Anselm Kiefer, Donald Judd - followed the same instinct, but unlike the next generation, Harvey Fite and Ann Norton labored in stone and brick almost alone for more than 30 years starting in middle age.  Both artists made a name for themselves through a … [Read more...]
