For The Saunders' Farm Project
COLLABORATIVE CONCEPTS INVITED ALMOST 40 ARTISTS TO PLACE SCULPTURE OVER 100 ACRES OF ROLLING LAND ON AN HISTORIC FARM IN GARRISON, NY. AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE EXHIBITION, VISITORS WILL BE GIVEN A MAP WITH THE LOCATION OF EACH ARTWORK AND RECOMMENDED WALKING PATHS (VEHICLES WILL BE LIMITED TO A PARKING AREA ACCESSIBLE FROM OLD ALBANY POST ROAD). ARTISTS WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE AND VOLUNTEERS WILL BE RECOGNIZED BY THEIR DISTINCTIVE BLUE C.C. T-SHIRTS.
THE ART HAS BEEN CURATED TO FIT INTO THE VISTAS. WITH LESS THAN ONE SCULPTURE PER 2 ACRES, THE VISUAL SENSE OF A SPECTACULAR LANDSCAPE WILL PREDOMINATE. THE ART IS TEMPORARY AND ALL SITES WILL BE RETURNED TO THEIR ORIGINAL CONDITION.
THE STEER ARE ROTATED FROM PASTURE TO PASTURE (ON THE OPENING DAY, THE STEER WILL HAVE A PASTURE OF THEIR OWN). THE ART AS REQUIRED BY THE PROJECT, IS COW FRIENDLY - NO HOLES, CABLES, SHARP EDGES, ETC. THE STEER ARE EXPECTED TO ENJOY THE ART WHILE THEY DINE.
