SUMMARY:In the Field: Fabrication

Artist Tim Engelhardt will be joined by arts administrator and public art consultant Morton Brown to discuss the various elements and players that make a mural project possible. Brown and Engelhardt will also cover the various materials and approaches to mural making and installation. This session is appropriate for artists\, art administrators\, and those interested in commissioning an artist for a mural project. \nAbout In the Field\nNow in its second year\, In the Field takes participants through the artist’s process\, from an artist’s perspective. From research and design ideation\, to working with fabricators and implementation of the artwork\, In the Field breaks down the public art process so that artists and the general public gain insight into how an artwork becomes a part of the public realm. \nThis year\, artist Tim Engelhardt will lead the series\, presenting the artistic process and resulting large mixed-media mural Above Stage\, commissioned by Pittsburgh CLO for the entryway to their campus on CLO Academy Way in Downtown Pittsburgh. Each session of In the Field will be on-site at a different location significant to the project and will highlight a different step in Engelhardt’s process of creating the artwork. \nAbout Tim Engelhardt\nTim Engelhardt is a visual artist residing in Pittsburgh\, PA.
