From Vision to Placement: What Does It Really Take to Bring Monumental Art to Life?

Webinar

Date/time TBD (September)

A behind-the-scenes look at how large-scale public art actually gets placed — from navigating city approvals to working with fabricators, landowners, and funders. Led by a public art consultant who has helped bring both commissioned and existing works into the public realm, this conversation opens up the realities of making big work happen: the costs, the barriers, and the beginnings of an ecosystem to support un-commissioned, ambitious sculpture. What would it take to make that vision sustainable?

in memoriam is a powerful collaborative installation by Teddy Milder and Lori Goodman. Over the past year and a half, the artists created 110 small sculptures from handmade pigmented and dyed abaca and kozo paper, wood dowels, reed, thread, and fiber. Each form stands as a meditation on collective grief—bearing witness to atrocities past and present, and honoring the weight of loss through quiet material gestures.

The ongoing exhibition opened June 6 at theBarn Gallery in Eureka, California. Viewings are available by appointment.

Priyanka Rana’s sculpture practice began later in life, finding in wood a collaborative partner that reveals both personal and material stories. Borrowing its title from Terry Tempest Williams’ When Women Were Birds, this exhibition explores hidden narratives beneath the surface.

Rana’s work spans several series addressing memory, nostalgia, healing, and our connection to the natural world. Bridging her Indian heritage with the multicultural Bay Area, she looks to trees as symbols of interdependence—reminding us that isolation is an illusion and that we are connected through unseen networks.

The exhibition runs August 30 through January 11 at the Triton Museum, 1505 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara, California. Opening reception is August 30.
