Beyond the Gap between Art and Architecture
Over the course of my career I have had the opportunity to work with several artists on public art projects that attempted to bridge the gap between art and architecture. The projects ranged from Acconci Studio's Newtown Creek project, in Brooklyn NY, which ushers the exterior environment into the visitorscentre, to Dennis Oppenheim's Ventura Bus Home, Ventura CA, where the bus shelter transforms from a bus to a home conceptually joining public and private space. This past year I was involved in a project with Gensler's Education and Culture Studio which did more than bridge a gap; it literally sliced right through the architecture.
