Art in Service: a conversation
On ribbon of orange, we walk.
N+T Director Kate Gilbert shares her experience at Christo’s latest work, The Floating Piers, in this guest post.
"We are all there to walk on new land, to experience a fantasy like walking on the ceiling that we’ve envisioned in our youth or during a dreamy state. With collars of orange glowing under our necks, we walk together."
Announcing Public Trust
It's been a long time coming, and we've been dropping all kinds of hints, so we're excited to finally, officially, spill the beans! N+T is pleased to present Public Trust, a free interactive artwork commissioned by Brooklyn artist Paul Ramirez Jonas coming to Boston August 27-September 17.
Contagious Positive Energy
"When doing community engagement work photos cannot capture everything, but they do try. [There are] microcosmic amazing moments that always go unseen and escape the camera. Many occurred during Faces of Dudley." More about one such moment in Cedric Douglas' essay from Faces of Dudley, now available on Blurb.
Dudley Square residents tell a collective story
“I have a story to tell,” read one board. “I survived breast cancer,” declared another. “I am the whomp whoomp,” stated a third, somewhat mysteriously. All were in response to questions asked while people waited to have their portrait taken during Faces of Dudley. More about the inspiration behind this project in Kate Gilbert’s essay from Faces of Dudley, now available on Blurb.
