Collaboration with Local High School
May 14th, 2009For two years the Contemporary and Metro Academic Classical High School collaborated on a project through the Contemporary’s education program ArtReach. Now, this student-created sculpture is complete and ready to present to the public! The sculpture is called “Untitled” Gathering Place and will reside at the high school as a place for students to meet and mingle. It was partially inspired by Maya Lin’s sculpture, Peace Chapel at Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA, as students became inspired by her work after studying it during her exhibition Maya Lin: Systematic Landscapes at the Contemporary in 2007. These students worked incredibly hard to complete the planning, designing, and building and they also learned lesson about process and communication as they worked with each other, as well as with adults in their community. The public dedication of is on Tuesday, May 19 on the ground of their school. Everyone involved in this project should feel very proud!
