A tentative schedule is developing for the 100 decommissioned lamp poles. After a brief meeting with Larry Fox, the head of Alfred State Physical Plant, the lamp poles are officially the property of All Creations. The first destination for 60 measuring 25' tall is the Sculpture Barn in New Fairfield CT. The rough conceptual form will push the subtle curve in two directions, perhaps plotting an 'S' curve that will create an interesting journey for the individual.

Additionally, All Creations will apply for the spring exhibition at Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City. The exhibition is based on "interpretations and responses to the motivations, goals, realities, politics, and practices of recycling. This will be an expansive exhibition encompassing many perspectives about the concepts and methodologies of adaptive re-use, and will include projects that address the creative transformation of the by-products of production and consumption..."

Both the large and small sculptures will be proposed, however due to the scale of the park All Creations intends on experimenting with dense and tight forms as to not cover the entire field.

On the horizon is a proposal to the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park in Cazenovia NY. On a whim, Matt and I took a trip to visit the park, and were pleasantly surprised to find the parks administrators still at work, awaiting an evening meeting. After a chat and look around the building we delved into developing ideas for a proposal.

Lastly, we envision an installation at Art Omi in a year's time, and then perhaps we will approach Pepsi Co. for a temporary exhibit on their grounds. Another option is moving south for the winter in search of warmer weather.
