Recently I wrote about being married to a visual artist (10.22.11: On marrying a visual artist, staying For Real and communal living in Chicago) and the benefits of choosing a spouse who helps you keep it real. I'd like for my readers to get to know my husband a little better, so that when I pitch the City of Evanston a public art proposal for the "Swing Set Drum Kit", you'll know what I'm talking about and back my idea!
The video above was taken of my husband's "Swing Set Drum Kit" that he was commissioned to create for a public art festival in El Paso, Chalk the Block. The festival is geared toward children, with a variety of chalk drawing activities, performances, etc. Dave's piece was ideal for this festival and there was a long line of children waiting to swing during most of the festival.
Click here for a slide show of images of the event, to include Dave on the cover of the El Paso Times.
Thank you in advance for your support, I totally think this piece would be great for the Evanston Art Center right around spring.
Very very cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll be looking out for you when it comes time to pitch this locally.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes it would. As someone who has seen it in action, I can vouch for its popularity and sheer cool.
