St. Paul’s School Collaboration 2007
Weisberg’s projects include interactive art collaborations with students, the most recent one at St. Paul’s School in Concord, NH. Approximately 30 students collaborated on two projects: a sculpture installation and a large scale site specific drawing. Both were structured similarly with the artist bringing pre-fabricated pieces that students responded to, elaborated and expanded upon. Starting with an initial tape drawing by Weisberg mounted on the wall, the artist worked with students to create a large scale drawing using black and white tape as their drawing tool.
The installation extended over a 28′ long u- shaped alcove. Students expanded their notion of drawing into a more sculptural dimension. In a parallel project an 8 foot cube was constructed upon which fictitious g explosions/ruptures were sculpted and blended into the wall, thereby disrupting the purity of the geometric form. The final works were exhibited in Hargate Gallery along with other work by the artist.
