projects

60 Pieces of Art - Collaborative Self-Portrait
  • Jennifer Fais made a giant line drawing self-portrait on 60 sheets of paper.
  • Next, she has mailed individual pages to 60 people, who decorated their square.
  • They are returning their page by mail or in person at the event so it could be re-assembled every day during 60 Hours with the other pages into the finished self-portrait.
BB Gun Poetry Firing Range
  • Pressly Dowler created 60 small plaster pieces to attach to a long sapling pole.
  • Jeffrey Diteman contributed a 60 word poem - one word each to be written on the plaster targets.
  • Under adult supervision, a group of us took to the firing range and the pieces remaining were re-formed into a new (and shorter) poem by Kat Yeary.
Blank Slate Mobile
  • Werner Sun made a special outdoor mobile and installed it ahead of the start of the official 60 hours.
  • The hanging sculpted pieces in the mobile were left white so that participants could paint or embellish them, adding to the mobile.
Tetanus Factory
  • Amelia Fais Harnas & Sarah Foster emptied the Turkey Coop of its contents and then Amelia re-arranged most of said contents on the front of the coop to be used as a backdrop for projections and performances.
Holly Museum
  • A performance piece by Kat Yeary, an audience was given a museum tour of Holly's room and life.
Secrets Swinging Sculpture
  • Constructed by Destiny using bent and woven metal ribbons and origami paper with secrets that were collected during the 60 Hours.
Klassy Kruntry
  • We took a brand-new hunting blind, and we painted a woodland scene on all four sides.
Yarn Bombing
  • Any and all with knitting or crocheting skills were welcomed and are thanked heartily for their contributions. The squares/doilies/creations that were mailed in were also seriously appreciated.
  • Success! Project Leader, Adriana Kramer, pulled together a fantastic installation that now slows down traffic on County Route 24.
Bonfire Pottery
  • Eric Holbein & helpers successfully pulled off pit firing pottery! This was set in the lower field and used Bonfire #2.
Paintball Pointillism
  • Bill Boland’s idea was to construct a large-scale pointillism piece using a black sheet nailed to the side of the Beulahland house & then shot with paintballs.
  • The paintballs were a little runny, so a second attempt was made shooting from the front upper deck onto the black sheet on the ground below.
Rocks
  • Bill Boland and helpers painted large rocks that were arranged in a special design on the side of the hill facing county route 24 (which used to be a gravel mine).
Brick-making/Installation
  • Using mud, straw and our hands & feet, we made our own bricks to bake in the sun (maybe the bonfire, too?). Perfect fun/messy thing for kids and kids-at-heart.
  • With the bricks made, we could build some sort of pyramid or other structure as an installation. Other ideas about this project are welcomed.
Safety Room Installation
  • Created by Amelia Fais Harnas in the small mud room off of the kitchen using all bright orange materials that she could find. 
  • Two improv dances were filmed in this installation.
Improvised Dance
  • Sarah Foster, Harriett Meyer, Sam, Heather and Sophia improvised a short dance performance in front of the Tetanus Factory which was recorded and projected on the Tetanus Factory at night with an added layer of imrpoved dance.
