Expo Chicago's "In Situ" Program Features Large Installation Pieces  Including Postcommodity's "Repellent Fence" And Oscar Murillo's "Collective Conscience"

Expo Chicago's In Situ program features large installation pieces throughout the fair.

The two pieces here are Postcommodity's Repellent Fence and Oscar Murillo's collective conscience.

The Repellent Fence is more than this one balloon. It was a two mile long land-art installation of 26 tethered balloons that are ten feet in diameter and floated 100 feet above the ground. The balloons floated above Douglas, Arizona and Aqua Prieta, Sonora. The balloons, themselves, are based on an ineffective bird repellent. The project was a collaborative project among a variety of individuals and organizations and was a symbolic attempt to suture together the people of this continent.

Collective conscience continues Morillo's exploration of labor in our capitalist world. He uses Mateos, effigies used in New Year's celebrations in Columbia. He has employed these effigies as symbols of the proletariat. These workers, when you look close, are partly dismembered and indeed, digested, by the system that both consumes them and in which they are consumers.

Sculptor Dimitar Lukanov's Mother and Child at The Mohawk River to be unveiled at 6 p.m., May 17, 2018. The scuplture is located at the entrance to Riverlink Park on the South Overlook landing in Amsterdam, New York. This is one of three public pieces commissioned by the City of Amsterdam from Lukanov.

The sculpture is bronze and 12 feet tall. It is finished with a light patina and depicts a mother and child surrounded by fish, plants and birds that live in the Mohawk River Valley. The piece appears to rise from the river and seems to be in motion. This is the sort of piece that will be a destination.

Traffic Jam An Artistic Installation ALL OVER Downtown Miami, November 30 To December 3, 2016

Traffic Jam, an artistic installation takes place all over Miami from Novemebr 30 to December 3, 2016. Keep an eye out. The grand finale, ALL OVER Downtown Miami, Saturday, December 3, 2016. The event culminates at 4 p.m. at MDC's Wolfson Campus Parking Lot (Lot 1, Biscayne Boulevard between 5 & 6th Streets). If you live in Miami, hell if you live anywhere, the topic of traffic jams is probably not a topic of whimsy.

Miami Dad College's Live Arts, however, approach the topic from a new angle. Steve Parker, a musician takes on the traffic (always horrific during Art Week) with a variety of performances. Included are;

- A mixed ability performance w/live musical score created amplified and processed components of the wheelchairs from Karen Peterson & Dancers,
- A gang of skateboarding ukulele players from Inlets Ensembles; choreographed musical bicycles by Kunstwaffen 1916,
- A large scale interactive xylophone made from automobile hoods and parts by Manita Brug & Randy Burman,
- A car orchestra where the community is invited to vent their frustrations in this vehicular flash mob by participating: honking their horns, playing their windshield wipers, & tapping their headlights.
