The Laramie University Art Museum in collaboration with the Art Department and the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, invited Sans façon to do a public lecture and site visit at the University of Wyoming. Delighted to be asked, we made our way down to Laramie, WY, where we had some really interesting discussions about the value of art in public places and interdisciplinary collaborations.

We are working with El dorado, Coen+Partners, the City of Lawrence and the Lawrence Arts Center on a project in Lawrence, Kansas, that brings artists into the urban planning process for a downtown streetscaping plan. Read some of the developments in this post from El dorado.

Our Dynamic Environment Lab Program Week was full of great discussions and learnings, presentations and site visits, and we had a full house at our public event, Dynamic Environment: Complimentary Perspectives, at the National Music Centre.
We are grateful to those who participated and came out in support, thank you!
You Are Here / We Are Here
You Are Here, an installation of 1,000 helium-filled balloons, is currently up in Sheffield (UK).
Residents and visitors to the city over the next few days who take a balloon will leave a trace of
the city, unveiling the activity of the pubic realm.
We Are Here is a symposium we’ll be participating in, hosted by the University of Sheffield
School of Architecture and curator Jane Anderson. We’ll be exploring the role of
public art in the public realm along with the Office for Subversive Architecture and Leo Fitzmaurice among others.
The Future of Water
We’re just back from Topeka, Kansas where we took part in The Governor’s Water Conference.
The room full of legislators, water managers and scientists convened to discuss the Kansas
Water Vision. Our small contribution was to share a bit about the implementation of the City of
Calgary’s WATERSHED+ public art program.
