Clue:
The old tracks cross Heywood between White's Mill and Temple B'Nai Israel. On the sidewalk, this piece will be easy to find in the framing.

Additional Information about this Piece:
The view of the Lawson's Fork from this sidewalk is one of the places that reminds me that Spartanburg is still wild at heart. This small acrylic painting is part of a series of studies of fruits and vegetables.

Hidden on 9/26/07 Status: Reported Missing/ Not Registered

Clue:
Look under the tallest building in town for a park bench with the letters PAL inscribed. When I saw the acronym for Partners for Active Living, I had to hide my office monster underneath.

Additional Information about this Piece:
I drew this thinking about the amount of time I spend on the computer and on the telephone each day. I think it is important for me to put technology down intentionally and relate face-to-face with the people who work with me. When I don't, I am a socially acceptable office monster. I think of it as one of Jim Henson's Muppets.

Under H-1 at the top of the student section, look for this piece in Gibbs Stadium. My hope is for peace in the quiet of this place where we have experienced great triumph, great sadness, and many other important questions about who we are as a community during this academic year.

Additional Information about this Piece:
As I drew this piece, I was thinking about the peach trees that are so important to our local history and culture.

Hidden on 9/24/07 Status: FOUND!




Clue:
At the base of Forest Drive, take your choice of which direction to bike the loop around the lake. But before you decide, it is not too much of a stretch to pay attention to the back of the sign. (This is a great place to feed the ducks!)

Additional Information about this Piece:
This doodle is a portrait made entirely from little dots with a pen. The points that make the face are applied in a continuous line so they are linked to each other in a long chain. The last dot connected to the first dot to close the loop.

Clue:
The Spartanburg Herald-Journal meant business by putting this fountain on the cover page of section E. Just stop by to enjoy where the new featured spring brims. You and this artifact can both sit on the rim.

Additional Information about this Piece:
I drew this piece as I was thinking about my mother's favorite refrain, "Party on!"
Sunday is her birthday. Happy birthday, Mom!

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!
