Laumeier Sculpture Park opens new center and asks what a fair world would look like
As Laumeier Sculpture Park opens its Adam Aronson Fine Arts Center to the public, exhibited works will be designed to bridge international and local communities. Among those whose work is featured in the first show, which opens Friday, is Raqs Media Collective.
Theyre kind of setting the tone for the international scope that we have for the next five years, said exhibit curator Dana Turkovic, Its more about representing these different voices from different areas of the world.
The Raqs exhibit features an outdoor component If the World is a Fair Place Then
and indoor component Art in the Age of Collective Intelligence.
The outdoor aspect consists of laser-cut metal bands of words wrapped around trees scattered throughout the grounds. The words were culled from more than 500 responses to the request to finish the phrase: If the World is a Fair Place Then
from which the show draws its name.
