Think he will be great for an AAM session.<br /><br />In the museum context and on this blog (as well as with clients where it makes sense), I've been a proponent of using a segment of new building percent for arts to go towards these types of artists- to supplement any permanent sculptural approaches that may have been taken in the past (not that I want to take money away from that). <br /><br />My feeling is that artists who work in this manner can have a ripple effect on programming staff as well as community, at a much lower cost. <br /><br />At Gyroscope we always hope to be able to support the Public Artist selection process where possible- as it can greatly enhance and do things that are not in our budget or scope, while also supporting the program of the museum du jour.<br /><br />Personally, I'm hoping to do a collaboration with Mark in the future. We'll see!<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />MariaMaria Mortatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345208082249376642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207720302407853697.post-36366258723377725052009-07-28T07:55:59.065-07:002009-07-28T07:55:59.065-07:00Maria,

I'm glad you got to participate and share your impressions. Mark is part of a proposal I submitted for AAM 2010 on "design for participation" - hopefully we'll all get to hear a lot more there about his process!Nina Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723930679606298550noreply@blogger.com
