CIVIC.SPACE – The public art of Marek Walczak & Wes Heiss

SHADOWALK

Local school children drew shadows of palms and we translated those drawings onto perforated shadow-casting panels.

Wes Heiss’s exhibition at the Art, Architecture and Design Faculty Exhibition.

An urban landscape intervention that takes the form of a sentient hedgerow.

Four pieces along a new one mile long park in the Clayton and Cole neighborhoods, Denver.

With community sourced material, the piece generates amusing & profound conversations.

Each instrument combines a real-time view of the streetscape with an ‘overlay’ slide that adds an additional narrative.

This folded metal sculpture was inspired by a theater drape used in nearby Miller Symphony Hall back when it opened in 1899.

Animal sculptures are placed throughout the Berry Center, each highlight a specific Wyoming ecosystem.

Facewall is made up of 1000 profiles of community residents & students, faculty, staff at University of California, Chico.

A dynamic model that expresses the state of the building & its occupancy.

A playful clock of sorts, the piece changes its content every minute.

AboutFace is a record of a time & place, a way to eulogize the present & look forward.

What is our relationship to the land?

Our first sculpture that plays with anamorphosis, where the form makes sense from only one point of view.

From whichever direction you look at the piece, the name of the neighborhood is only visible from that direction.

The sculpture with six viewpoints.
