Design and Build 2024- Exploring the Luminous Shadow

Eight emerging artist interns came together over the summer, through our annual Design and Build Summer Internship Program, to collaboratively create several unique, site-specific installations for MOA’s Marjorie Park in only 8 weeks! Emerging artists worked under the direction of our 2043 Artist Fellow, Charles Levesque, and Resource Artist, Walter Ware, with additional assistance by Reece Bailey, and Patrick Stolper.

The theme provided to the artists in 2024 was “light and shadow.” Some of the installations will be on view through December 6, 2024. “Inversion” will be on view through November 1, 2024.

Emerging Artists:
Isabel Angulo
Josephine Clark
Oliver Cruz
Michael Earle
Zavier Gierisch
Katie Knudsen
August Ostrow
Christian Smith

The creation of our 2024 projects were generously supported through a facilities partnership with the University of Colorado Denver, College of Arts and Media and Metropolitan State University of Denver. Artworks were created within the sculpture fabrication studios on Auraria campus.

Two of five installations are on view within Marjorie Park and may be viewed during a Marjorie Park event or by appointment only. There are an additional three installations accessible at the exterior perimeter of the park, which can be viewed any time.
