Art transcends boundaries, and sometimes, it's right beneath our feet. If you think flooring is very simple and inconsequential, take a look at this installation of flooring we handled for an exhibit of the late Juan Munõz's work at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden as part of its U.S. tour: https://lnkd.in/e_cxwhB5 The project was monumental, with each piece of flooring hand-cut, dry-laid, and numbered before installation. We handled everything from estimation to implementation. It was truly a blend of art and craftsmanship that set a new precedent for what flooring can be -- not just a surface, but a statement. The sky is the limit when you can free yourself up from complex tasks like estimating to focus on your end result.

Think about the last time you went on a walk. Do you remember seeing any public art? If so, think about some of the details that stood out to you about the artwork and the impact it had on your walk. Public art is all around us, often representing the communities they are located in. Take for instance this maquette from Alexandre Arrechea’s public art series, No Limits. Initially located on Park Avenue, the series featured 10 large sculptures, all inspired by New York's most notable landmarks. This maquette resembles the Sherry Netherland, a historic Hotel on Fifth Avenue. However, notice how the building is not set in its typical vertical position; instead, the artwork loops around, its configuration serving as a reflection of our society's social and political shifts. Take a closer look at the maquette in the image and consider the following questions. - What are some elements within the design of the artwork that stand out to you? - Does it look like the maquette is portraying movement? - Why do you think that Alexandre Arrechea used buildings to symbolize the changes our society undergoes? - Is it important for neighborhoods to have public art? Why might it be beneficial to our society? ___ Alexandre Arrechea (Cuba, b. 1970)  Sherry Netherland, 2021  27 x 27 x 3 inches Stainless steel Courtesy of the Artist #LearnWithMOLAA #Slowlookingsunday #MOLAA @AlexandreArrechea

Have you been to an art museum or gallery? #RotaryPresents Lynette Scott from Artlink shared some powerful insights to dispell the misunderstandings about appreciating art. Art is too expensive - not true. Not everyone needs a Van Gogh to own art that means something to you Art expertise is a requirement - your engagement with art is your own experience Art should be an investment - art doesn't have to increase in monetary value for it to be valuable to you. Art can enrich in emotional, mental, and spiritual ways that are far more valuable than how much you can sell it for in 20 years. Art collections must be big - what art does in your life is up to you. A couple of pieces can be as valuable to you as a large collection can be to professional collector. Art must match your decor - trust your instincts. As a professional in design, Lynette advises that decor doesn't have to match. Just needs to mean something to you. Start your collection by listening to yourself, asking questions, and connecting with the artist and their art. A join the community of peers appreciating art at one of Artlink's many events.
