This site-specific installation by pop artist Allen Jones has contrasting viewpoints. Soaring in the sky, the red sculpture’s sweeping tips of hair and silhouette can be appreciated when viewed from above, while from ground level, the experience is more abstract. Made from an aluminium sheet, Head in the Wind’s namesake alludes to an earlier work by Jones, created when he was at Hornsey Art College in 1959. ‘It’s remarkable to see how it’s bookending my career, but it confirms something I’ve always believed: that is within everybody there is a notion of completeness, which is unconsciously operating.’ Fun fact: Jones knew Stanley Kubrick, after the director was keen include one of his works in A Clockwork Orange.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
In this town, you need to be more specific. There are six Carnegie Music Halls in the Pittsburgh area. Most of them still host performances -- Trista Robinson and I are waiting 'til Tuesday to see Aimee Mann play in the Homestead hall. A 7th in the Duquesne neighborhood was demolished in 1968. And one -- the one in Braddock that I bought the seat from today -- has been out of commission since 1974, but the music hall, and the attached library, are currently being restored.
The Braddock library was, in fact, the very first Carnegie Library in the country. It was completed in 1891, and the music hall was in an addition added in 1893. That addition also included billiard tables, two duckpin bowling alleys, a basketball court, a swimming pool, and a tunnel to underground showers where mill workers could bathe, in a period where few had running water.
These facilities closed in 1974, as the borough of Braddock began to struggle and the community could not afford to maintain the roof and the rest of the building. As Wikipedia notes:
"Braddock lost its importance with the collapse of the steel industry in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. This coincided with the crack cocaine epidemic of the early 1980s, and the combination of the two woes nearly destroyed the community. In 1988, Braddock was designated a financially distressed municipality."
The beautiful Braddock library was actually scheduled to be razed, until a group of locals led by David Solomon, the last librarian to work there, organized to save the buildings. Solomon actually purchased the property for $1, and attended to the roof and other most urgent problems.
The borough continues to struggle today -- the most recent figures I could find reported an average household income of $23,050 and an employment rate of 34.2%. But efforts by people from Solomon's group to recent mayor John Fetterman have been working on improvements. There are some cool businesses in the area now, and multiple restoration efforts on the Carnegie and other buildings.
None of the Carnegie Halls in this area are quite as grand or anywhere near as famous as the New York version, of course. But people hope to move the library back into the building by the end of this year, and eventually follow that with an active performance hall once again. It would be great to see this historic building accelerate progress toward a more flourishing community here.

Shoreham Sculpture Trail
with The London Group
and Friends. A weekend of site specific art by over 70 artists spread around the village of Shoreham, Kent.
One of the largest sculptire trails the UK has ever seen. Featuring 30 London Group members and invited artists, including many prominent UK sculptors. 76 artists will be exhibiting over 200 sculptures in 26 gardens. The astonishing diversity of the exhibits ranges from the monumental to the ephemeral with works in metal and stone, with interactive work and performance and the Trail will be particularly unusual in the number of site-specific works. The idyllic village of Shoreham Kent, a gem just on the edge of London, is a beautiful place to visit just for itself and in June the gardens of all sizes, many on the river, will be at their best - visitors couldn't wish for more perfect surroundings in which to view sculpture. Most artists will be present to meet visitors during the trail and many will be giving talks. The Trail is curated by London Group President Susan Haire.

dSatellite is a site-specific architectural structure that extends the mission of DFLUX (www.dflux.org), a Detroit-based research studio and residency program, further into its community. DFLUX engages its local neighborhood and the general public with creative actions, research, and workshops. In so doing, they hope to reveal and create emergent and sustainable cottage industries. dSatellite was created with the intention of providing future DFLUX participants and local residents with an outpost to engage in various field research. Constructed with foraged building materials, dSatellite merges both the physical and conceptual characteristics of the DFLUX Residency site and a typical nature blind used by naturalists, scientists, photographers and hunters. dSatellite is currently deployed in a completely razed residential neighborhood of Detroit currently referred to as the "field" by local residents and "Renaissance Zone" by real estate developers. A dense urban forest, rich with wildlife, has grown there, only crumbling roads and alleys, debris piles, and public utilities remain as signs of past use.

Dopo il successo dell’edizione 2021, torna la masterclass di Fine Arts “Sacralità/Sacro – Installazione collaborativa site specific”.
Dal 4 al 12 aprile si è tenuta nuovamente la masterclass di Fine Arts a cura del docente Umberto Giovannini, durante la quale gli studenti hanno realizzato un progetto collettivo “site specific”. L’intento della masterclass è quello di indagare il concetto di “sacro” e di “sacralità”, e di rileggerlo e interpretarlo attraverso l’esperienza della contemporaneità. Si è proceduto quindi in un percorso di indagine iconografica e degli spazi in una visione psico-geografica, con cui entrare nella dinamica dello spazio. L’opera è stata realizzata attraverso il multiplo xilografico e l’installazione è stata collocata all’interno del RUFA Space, lo spazio dell’anima, presso la sede RUFA Pastificio Cerere e nel cuore del distretto di San Lorenzo.

Hey I'm all for them saving money with a combined mailing but sometimes it's nice to see the specific.
Isolating specific objects was a good way to compensate for the difficult lighting in the old barn. Using a tripod for this gave me the option of a long exposure, which in turn allowed me to keep my ISO setting low (minimizing digital noise, maximizing sharpness) and use an aperture sufficiently small to keep everything in sharp focus.
