Hovering Above
June 7 - November 30, 2008
Art experiences inevitably alter how human beings perceive their everyday environment. To this end, art’s presence helps people develop skills that enable them to experience color relations, notice facial expressions, appreciate nature’s details or discern relative distances. Artists exhibiting outdoors at Abington Art Center have typically sited their works on the ground. Eager to discover what kinds of ascendant sculptures artists might propose, we invited thirteen artists who had already indicated an interest to make airborne art to propose projects for “Hovering Above.” Not only does the prospect of hanging art on high pose an interesting artistic challenge, but it requires visitors to look up to discover the work. Visitors to “Hovering Above” will also gain a greater appreciation for our forest’s canopy.
Curated by Sue Spaid. “Hovering Above” includes sculptures by: Actual Size Artworks, Roberley Bell, Sylvia Benitez, Jamie Dillon & Nick Paparone, Caroline Lathan-Stiefel, Carole Loeffler, and Mike Ross
