Special Project

COMMON SPACE: a series of programs – a statewide design challenge, a symposium, and featured artists working concurrently in five Alaskan cities – that looked at rethinking urbanization, community infrastructure, local development, the role of activism, reactivating common spaces large and small, and the formal and informal. The following artists collaborated with ADF board members to carry out projects and installations in five cities across Alaska:

Pezo von Ellrichshausen (Concepcion, Chile). Project: Soft Pavilion, in Anchorage.

Candy Chang (New Orleans). Project: Looking For Love Again, in Fairbanks.
