Site Specific work: Nov 2016

Former Gazette Telegraph newspaper building, Colorado Springs, CO

A collaboration like this begins as a suggestion, a seed, and unbridled optimism about the possible relationship that can be established between business and the arts. David Seigel (Bee Vradenburg Foundation) connected me to Jacob Eichengreen (Nor’wood Development) and then the Kirkpatrick Family Fund responded to our grant application. The Creative Team assembled here are artists from dance, music, lighting, and video who relish the challenges that site specific art projects present and are equally thrilled to be intuitive in the process of creating as it unfolds. Allow this space to inhabit you and imagine what stories can be revealed through this multi-disciplinary art experience. – Janet Johnson, Co-Director/Choreographer
