Hidden on 11/17/07 Status: FOUND!


Clue:

The hike to Landrum will be better than broccoli this season.
Right now the fall colors are marvelous!

This piece is sitting atop the Mane Gate.
The signs are not easy to follow,
but the locals can tell you how to get to the fence you are looking for!

This piece is almost in sight of the I-26 underpass.
You will find this is the first time the Artist-In-Transit project went interstate.

Additional Information about this Piece:
This is another regal veggie in acrylic paint.

Special thanks to Elizabeth for the encouragement to count the clovers in Landrum!
We had a lovely visit to this pearl on our side of the Blue Wall.

Gone as of 9am today. Looked all over the place and even had a local ask me if I wanted help looking for it.

Sunday afternoon was the perfect day for a drive on the back roads to see the autumn color and search for art in Landrum and beyond.
Many locals, all of whom were very nice, tried to help with directions. It was a joy to talk with each of them, but none knew exactly where we should look. As a result, we went in circles for hours.
Your riddle was finally solved by Teresa who works in the deli at Ingles on the interstate in Landrum. She gave us detailed directions and sent us to the correct entrance of F.E.N.C.E. on Mane Gate Road!!
What a task it was to find your piece of broccoli and what an adventure we had!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!

I'm sorry this 'found comment' is late. I tried to post it all morning, but kept getting an error message. I don't understand what the problem was, unless perhaps the website has gotten very large, or the artisit was working on it.

I am glad you found it! We had a hard time finding F.E.N.C.E., the place we planned to hide it!

Conceptualize!

What is this project?

In collaboration with Partners for Active Living, SPARTA Bus, and the City of Spartanburg, visual artist and Spartanburg resident Kris Neely will move through out the city of Spartanburg for six months. The project is intended to call the community's attention to bus shelters, bike racks, and city trails.

How can I participate?


Step 1: Kris Neely will move through Spartanburg in ways that are not his typical ways of experiencing this place. He will begin to create studies and sketches that will be used for the creation of one larger piece of art.

Step 2: Kris will place these studies throughout the city in places that he noticed during his travels. Clues will be placed on this blog along with photographic images of the artifacts.

Step 3: Participants are invited to follow the clues to find these small pieces of art. Finders keepers. We invite you to leave a comment on this site letting us know the work has been found and taken. You might even want to post a picture of yourself in the location. Please see Step 5 for more details about a what we hope you will do with this art.

Step 4: Citizens are encouraged to send in postcard reflections about the way they move through Spartanburg. Poems, art work, and collages are just some of the creative ways you can reflect. (Children are encouraged to participate.) Please be aware that by submitting a card you are agreeing for the card to be exhibited in a culminating show and on this site. No postcards will be returned and decisions about whether reflections will be posted are left to the sole discretion of the Artist-in-Transit.

Step 5: Participate in the culminating art show (TBA). Participants who find the artifacts are encouraged to bring them to the culminating show for display. These pieces will be yours to keep after the event. Kris will share the larger work that resulted from the studies of movement and systems in the City of Spartanburg. Postcard reflections will be on display. Information about active living and public art initiatives in Spartanburg will be available at this event.

Step 6: Consider making a personal adjustment in the way you move each day through Spartanburg!
