Yes, we are planning some number of podiums covered by acrylic boxes that would be suitable for ceramics and similar works. If you can approximate the width/depth/height, that would be helpful to know. Also, if any piece is going to be unusally heavy as to require an particularly strong podium or wall mount, it would be good to let us know that soon as well.

Furthermore, we would like to know if a free standing piece needs to have a podium so the art can be seen from all sides, or if it could be displayed in an alcove where the back of the piece isn't visible (useful for pieces that are similar on all sides or pieces where you would like to force perspective from a certain viewpoint).

Jim,

Thanks for your interest in artspace. The pieces that will be displayed in artspace will primarily be displayed in plexiglass covered enclosures that will mostly be too small for a single piece of yours. With the possible exception of a very small series that only work as a series, we will probably have to restrict artists to one piece each. Nothing will be burned at the camp. We expect that most of the type of work that is displayed at artspace will probably be taken home by the artists for future display. It sounds like your collection has both the properties and the scale to be able to survive as its own collection on the open playa. I, for one, would love to happen across a collection of twenty pieces like yours in my travels on the playa. They have a very Tom Friedman feel to them that I appreciate (see his 1995 work with toothpicks). I think you are correct in thinking your project might not fit in, but artspace is all about supporting artists, so perhaps there is some other way we could work with you. Perhaps we could display a single piece in front of the camp. Perhaps you have a nice maquette of your larger work we could display. Let us know how we can help and good luck!
