IMA TV: Free Basket

http://www.imamuseum.org/100acres/artists/loscarpinteros

IMA's Dave Hunt, project manager for 100 Acres Art and Nature Park, tells us all about the installation of Free Basket.

Los Carpinteros has developed a large-scale site-specific installation titled Free Basket for 100 Acres: The Virgina B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park that continues their interest in the juxtaposition of the practical and the imaginary. Free Basket draws on the form of the basketball court, turning it into an aesthetically surprising entity that also offers a site for the community to engage in recreational play. In developing their project, Los Carpinteros chose to draw on the rich history of sports in the city of Indianapolis. Their project seeks to bring together art, culture and sports, providing an interactive platform for the larger community that engages them in art. Free Basket will be Los Carpinteross first long-term public commission in the U.S.
