PROJECT HIGHLIGHT | Flight
Artist Dan Corson’s concept is based on airplanes, the migration patterns of birds, and the Fort Worth icon, the Texas Longhorn. A series of twelve footlong abstract forms resembling longhorns will be fabricated in frosted white, UV-stable, impact resistant acrylic and will be suspended from the concrete beams of the I-30 Bridge.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHT | When Air Becomes Sky
The Animalis Works team, artists Dharmesh Patel and Autumn Ewalt, was inspired by the revitalization and conservation of Northwest Community Park as an ecosystem. Particularly interested in its reemergence as a stopping point on the migration route of the monarch butterflies, the team designed a series of larger-than-life butterfly sculptures. Each beautiful butterfly sculpture calls to mind this migration, encapsulating the energy and vibrance of nature
FEATURED ART | Pioneer Tower Dreams
During the month of October, Fort Worth residents are invited to participate in the creation of this exciting audio/video artwork through Refik Anadol’s Call for Memories. The artist has created a website to accept images and/or stories associated with any location in the city.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | Quayola
Quayola (b.1982) employs technology as a lens to explore the tensions and equilibriums between seemingly opposing forces: real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new. His varied practice, all deriving from custom computer software, includes audio/visual performance, video, sculpture, and works on paper.
