Famous Artists Share Their Childhood Art In Support Of Arts Education

“My Kid Could Do That” underscores the importance of arts education in under-funded communities.

Grimanesa Amorós’ “Snowland” (1972), made with pastel on paper when she was 9.

Growing up as a child in Lima, Peru, Amorós would often fantasize about the snow she’d only seen in pictures and movies. Unable to physically experience the magic of snow, the only way she could express her fascination was through art. Using pastels, she was able to illustrate a scene of a frigid winter. Her sweet naiveté is found in the pinks and yellows of the painted trees, unaware that they would have been barren.

HuffPost “HuffPost (formerly The Huffington Post and sometimes abbreviated HuffPo) is a liberal American news and opinion website and blog that now has both localized and international editions. It was founded in 2005 by Andrew Breitbart, Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, and Jonah Peretti. The site offers news, satire, blogs, and original content and covers politics, business, entertainment, environment, technology, popular media, lifestyle, culture, comedy, healthy living, women’s interests, and local news. In July 2012, The Huffington Post was ranked No. 1 on the 15 Most Popular Political Sites list by eBizMBA Rank, which bases its list on each site’s Alexa Global Traffic Rank and U.S. Traffic Rank from both Compete and Quantcast. In 2012, The Huffington Post became the first commercially run United States digital media enterprise to win a Pulitzer Prize.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HuffPost)

Collaboration with Cindy Chao at The Grand Palais Biennale des Antiquaires

Timeless Motion (in Life and Light) 2016, 3D Rendering

GRIMANESA AMORÓS TIMELESS MOTION (in Life and Light) #timelessmotion #grimanesaamoros #cindychao #BiennaledesAntiquaires @cindy_chao@grimanesaamoros

September 9th – 18th, 2016 at The Grand Palais Booth P04, 3 Avenue du Général Eisenhower Paris, France

“Timeless Motion (in Life and Light),” a site-specific installation by artist Grimanesa Amorós in collaboration with CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel, will be on view at Grand Palais in Paris, during the Biennale des Antiquaires . The piece will serve as a striking setting to Chao’s 12 new masterful art jewels. The atmospheric, ephemeral quality of the setting is further reinforced with a slow movement of lights, which reflect on Chao’s art jewels making each piece come alive. Viewing jewels in this environment thus aims to transcend a purely aesthetic experience and become a meditation on the theme of nature and life. After Biennale des Antiquaires, “Timeless Motion (in Life and Light)” will travel internationally with the first stop at the LONG MUSEUM, Shanghai China. Other destinations will include Taipei, Hong Kong, Moscow, and Dubai.

Golden Scottsdale – Golden Waters, a temporary light installation by artist Grimanesa Amorós that will extend from the famous Soleri Bridge, will be on view June 18 – September 2015. Scottsdale Public Art, a leader of defining art in the public realm, is the sponsor of the installation. Inspired by and reflecting the natural elegance of the Arizona canal, a nearly fifty mile long body of water that runs through Scottsdale, Golden Waters will be mounted on a secure structure attached to the bridge, designed by artist, architect and philosopher Paolo Soleri. The hovering light sculpture will extend parallel to the canal channel eighty feet west of the bridge. Golden Waters’ LED tubing system will appear to rise from the canal waters below, celebrating the union of light and water. The vertical and horizontal lines of the installation are a metaphor for the dynamic balance between urban and natural forces that can be experienced simultaneously. Golden Waters hopes to engage the viewer by emphasizing a unique perspective on nature and landscape. There will be an artist talk with Amorós at 6pm – 8:30pm, on June 18th, 2015, with details available On June 19th, you could meet and greet the artist at the Soleri Bridge at 6:30pm – 8:30pm.
