Over all is was pretty good(especially considering Iowa West footed most of the bill, entrance was $25 per person). I got to meet a lot of artists and people associated with public art, but would have liked a little more time to question the artists and administrators about working up to larger installation pieces and the processes involved. We did get to meet Jun Kaneko, ceramic installations artist, and tour his studios which were amazing, and we got to see them installing Jonathyn Borofsky's 30' tall Molecule Man. I watched them weld 2-1/2" thick aluminum plates together using a Mig setup on a trolly and a crazy occilating machine that vibrated the piece as it was welding. The fabricator called it Pulse Puddle Welding, and said that it created a stress free weld. I hope to learn more about it. If they have it again next year I definitely suggest those that are interested attend.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2008/09/major_sculpture_at_the_iowa_west_public_art_networking_conference">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2008/09/major_sculpture_at_the_iowa_west_public_art_networking_conference#comment Conference public art Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:53:14 -0500 eligius1427 6899 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/images/metalwacker/2007/07/signage <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <a href="/images/metalwacker/2007/07/signage"><img src="http://www.artmetal.com/files/images/DSCF0049_0.thumbnail.JPG" alt="signage" title="signage" class="image thumbnail" width="144" height="108" /></a><br /> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.artmetal.com/images/metalwacker/2007/07/signage#comment public art sign Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:43:32 -0500 metalwacker 3945 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/blog/metalwacker/2007/07/public_art_sinage_finished_finally <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p>A great day.
