A synopsis by way of explanation before you start to read...
Hi, I'm Lucy. I started my blog July 2009, to document my journey across the American West, and it now forms an archive of the Land Arts of The American West program 2009. As you can read below the journey took me far and wide with wonderful people, seeing wonderful places. When we returned from travelling we had 3 crazy weeks to put a show together. In that time I printed many photos and did 2 installations "off-site" i.e. away from the gallery space. One in an abandoned phone booth and one under a stairwell, both in different spaces within the University of New Mexico (UNM) campus. The tumble weed and barbed wire piece evolved further when I met The Chuppers - an electronic arts ensemble based in a wonderful recording studio filled with weird and wonderful hybrid instruments forged together from old and new technology. The Chuppers saw my piece under the stairs and were inspired to create music and video projection with my piece which I then in turn decided to "perform" for an audience. Around 40 or so people joined us on the night of the 18th Novemeber our audio, visual and corporeal performance...all of which is documented in my blog. This Blog has formed part of the Land Arts 2009 show at John Sommers Gallery, UNM.
El Paso
We had so much fun in El Paso. We spent 4 days designing and installing a huge 200 feet x 6 feet stone mural, in a little mexican barrio. I got interviewed by the El Paso times see the link click
EL PASO TIMES to see the story. Whilst here I was facinated by the fact that El Paso is a border city, Juarez, Mexico being the other side of the town that was once one city, and is now divided in two. Driving through El Paso made me think of what Berlin must have been like before the wall came down.
