Recent press from the Third Coast Digest gave a much needed critique of the overall Park East project. While not exhaustive in its evaluation, it is worth a read. You can find it here.

Here are some final images of the install on the Laacke and Joys boat house wall. While I am not tickled about the LJ signage (it is temporary), it does cloud the intention and meaning of the fragments placed adjacent to it.In a sense, this is another act of cession: Laacke and Joys allowed use of their wall for this project, which I used to create my piece (and thereby claimed an "ownership" of

Here are some in-progress images of the Laacke and Joys section of the piece.The cutting which began on the billboards led to the fragments pictured here. These developed, in part, from an earlier concept/proposal, but the essence of both was to draw a connection between two spaces. Another aim is show the passing of time, which becomes noticeable as the daylight changes over the course of a day.

The final stage of this section of the piece came by way of a thousand cuts...The billboards were secured at the base and then, utility knives in hand, we cut the maps to eliminate that which was removed for the development of the original freeway project. The cuts served to reveal layers of present, conceptual and historical space.In all, 1,590 homes were demolished for the construction of the

I contacted Diggers Hotline and the city department that deals with underground utilities location and am waiting for them to mark the site. According to the hotline, I cannot dig until the site has been marked; if I do and damage some line (be it gas, electric, sewer or whatever) I have to pay for the damage. The city official I spoke with mentioned that he knew for sure that there are sewer

These are a couple images that I came across during my research on the Park East Corridor that were useful in helping me understand the scale of the original freeway project. While such drastic change is seen as necessary for development projects the world over, the scale can be baffling. Because I moved Milwaukee after the freeway spur was dismantled, my understanding had to come through

This is the first, rough model I constructed for this project; I am in the process of constructing the final model now. I often will construct prototypes or concept models, which can be pretty crude - this is by far the most accurate I've done. The accuracy has been useful, especially for such a large-scale piece; building the model breaks down the process of construction and helps to answer a
