For several years
Visual Arts League has been inciting and documenting art adventures, using simple
things and who and what is all around. About 4 years ago we
received two van loads of PVC pipe from the Greek at the Stone Museum.
This got things off to a quick start with a recycled sculpture project
involving over forty schools, "Pipe Dreams, NJ Merges With The Great Pipe
Dream, New Zealand"
Thinking globally,
working locally, we invited artists, schools and random others to join us
in this project. Janet Scelsa, a teacher
with the East Brunswick Recreation Department orchestrated a magic day at
the Daisy Recreation Center with one of the tallest pipes.
We hope to emphasize
the value of a single day, a moment, a life, a hand given in the train
rush of our days. Memory fails! The web site is an outline to be filled in
and added to, embellished with the serendipity events which ensue and can
be traced back to points in time when someone or many crystallized an
idea.
The day at the Daisy
Recreation Center has mushroomed beyond the short hours spent.We are celebrating here
the wonder of coming together with simple things and following along to
see the magic trail. J. Wray
