Accomplices

September 10, 2018 - October 31, 2018

Designed and produced by artists Andy Graydon and Isabel BeaversAccomplices is a series of six printed postcards that invite visitors themselves to perform small micro-compositions on each site in response to and collaboration with each of Nakaya’s sculptures. One card is available at each location of Nakaya’s sculptures, as well as at the Emerald Necklace Conservancy’s Shattuck Visitor Center, and is designed specifically for that park site and sculpture. The front of each postcard features a color image of a medley of objects gleaned from the site where the card is found: a gum wrapper; a misplaced earring; a river-worn stone; a crumpled leaf or a goose feather. Inspired by George Brecht’s “Solitaire” set of artist’s cards, the arrangements raise up the value of quotidian objects and of simple moments of attention and discovery in the field. All six cards can be placed side-by-side to become one panoramic image.

The reverse side of each card features a short text-based score that instructs visitors to imagine, move, listen, or engage with the fog sculptures and the park environment in ways that heighten their sensitivity to, and immersion in, their surroundings. In this way, each visitor is included as a performer of the work itself, as a creative author of their own experience of the fog sculptures, the park’s landscape, and in moments of their daily experience.


This program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter and Eugene M. Lang Foundation.
