Description: Artist Andy Graydon presents To Scale (10,000 things for Mark Tobey). Originally created in 2014 for Seattle's Pike Place Market Hill Climb as a collaboration with Peter Bjordahl, this public art sound installation will be re-staged for a one-day-only sonic event within a stairwell in the UMass Dartmouth Liberal Arts (LARTS) building designed by Paul Rudolph.
To Scale takes its inspiration from Seattle artist Mark Tobey's "white writing" paintings. Tobey began his career painting the teeming aspects of the material world and slowly moved to a gestural language of white marks that were the traces of those objects. Likewise, To Scale seeks to engage the world beyond its physical boundaries to give a sense of the city as an active force that emanates from the basic things surrounding us.
This project is part of the Spring 2018 "Playing the Campus" event series hosted by UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) faculty, staff, students, and invited guests. UMassD CVPA celebrates its brutalist residential campus with a number of public events dedicated to Paul Rudolph and his legacy. The series will include art installations, live performances, lectures, community forums, film screening, and an exhibition in the CVPA Campus Gallery. All events are free and open to the public.
This program is organized by Dr. Rebecca Uchill, CVPA. Support for this program is sponsored in part by the UMass President's Creative Economy Initiatives Fund, 2017-2018.
