ArtOrg in Public Art Review

By Dave Machacek


ArtOrg’s The Big Print appears in the current issue of Public Art Review on pages 12 and 82. The project is mentioned in the U.S. Recent Projects section and also in full-page size across from Suzi Gablik’s Soap Box editorial. By happenstance, the opening words from Ms. Gablik’s editorial seem appropriate to The Big Print: “like the Tao running wild as a dragon in heat, art is everywhere. In a critical shift from the idea of art as monologue and self-expression, I have defended a more decentralized creativity that is dialogic, interactive and participatory.” More of her writings can be found here. ArtOrg wishes to thank everyone who was involved with the project, including the 1180 artists from the ten participating venues from 2008: Walker Art Center, Anderson Center in Red Wing, Just Food Co-op in Northfield, Owatonna Arts Center, ArtReach Alliance St. Croix in Stillwater, The Unconvention in Minneapolis by Northern Lights, Rochester Art Center, and the St. Cloud Arts Commission. We also thank the staff from Buntrock Commons at St. Olaf College for such a wonderful venue, and Forecast Public Art.
