Foundation Lecture Series: Lead Pencil Studio (week 10)

This week we heard from Annie Han and Dan Mihalyo of Lead Pencil Studio.  Both artists are architects, so a lot of their work is mathmatical and done on a large scale.  I loved hearing them talk about how they got into billboards from all over the world, and they showed us images of the work process for one of their pieces that was a large wire sculpture of the negative space of a billboard.  The point of this piece was to "fram the sky," which is opposite of what a billboard would normally do.  This piece was so interesting because the weather changes, making the work different everytime you see it and because of its location.  It is the first piece of art you see as you enter the U.S. from off a bay.  Overall, I was impressed with their brillant collaboration of such a fascinating piece of art!
