Grand Rapids ArtPrize 2011 Opens in 1 Week

What do encyclopedia pages, twine, horsehair, firecrackers,

paper-cuts and aged bronze all have in common?  The GRAM, of course.

We previewed a few of the ArtPrize 2011 installations at the Grand

Rapids Art Museum Sunday and have included a few photos of the

diverse entries displayed.

This piece is made from steel and encyclopedia pages.  I knew I shouldn’t

have got rid of that old set of World Books.

Many unusual materials were used to recreate this replica

of a war rug.  Did you guess firecrackers?

Horsehair, grapevine, and a hand hewn wheel comprise

the elements of this entry.

The depth and intricacy of this entry has to be seen to

be appreciated.  I had difficulty with paper snowflakes!

 

Don’t miss ArtPrize 2011 this year!  It starts on Wed Sept 21.

These and about 1200 other pieces that will stretch your

imagination are waiting for you to view.
