Contemporary ArtReach: The Building of a Sculpture

The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis partnered with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Art Class at Metro High School in St. Louis to construct a collaborative art project. Inspired by the exhibition: Maya Lin: Systematic Landscapes, the students in the program decided to create a site-specific sculpture on their school grounds. This video shares the experience of the students and the teachers through the project, culminating with a beautifully constructed space called Untitled (Gathering Place) which was dedicated in May 2009.
