Earthbound Moon is pleased to be working with the following artists in the coming years: Carol Anne McChrystal and Taha Belal
Earthbound Moon will offer hundreds of artists an opportunity to create site-specific public sculpture. We are looking for sculptures that are integrally situated in the communities they inhabit. Artists will be expected to design and install their works with the ethos and history of the community in mind. Asking artists to take such care with site-specificity creates a bond between the work, the common space we are declaring and each individual community. Beyond this, by inviting artists from around the world, and building a sculpture garden that spreads across the Earth while embracing local site-specificity, Earthbound Moon creates a sense of each community's place within the larger whole of the species and life on Earth. Enhancing the challenge of site-specificity for artists, we expect the works to be rigorously contemporary. We are curious how contemporary artists will engage the challenge of creating contemporary works that are safe enough to be installed publicly.
