CIVIC SPACE is an interactive art design collaborative. Marek Walczak & Wes Heiss have completed major public artworks in cities including Indio, CA, Denver, Co, Chico CA, Denver CO, Laramie WY, Wayne NE and others.

Our backgrounds in architecture combined with ‘in-house’ design & fabrication skills have enabled us to easily coordinate a wide range of resources. Our work uses a range of technologies, from hardware like laser-cut steel or bronze castings to custom interactive software, each carefully applied based on needs & challenges of each project.

We work by understanding the local history & community at each location, often with numerous workshops – creating silhouettes of the community, or by asking for kids’ drawings, or improv & other acting & language-based groups. We’ve collaborated since 2007 & have completed commissions with budgets up to $1m.
