 Hi, my name is Karolina Halatek. I'm from Poland. I had the pleasure to be a resident artist at Lomaier Sculpture Park in St. Louis. So I used my time to produce an artist piece actually during my time, so actually it was three weeks. So I would like to share with you the results of my stay as an example of the thinking I'm having about the art generally. So I created the site specific piece and just in the very beginning I can tell you that Lomaier Sculpture Park is free, so everyone can enter and it's a huge space. So a lot of people just go for a weekend, a lot of families go to spend time. There is a lot of public that doesn't relate. It's not like a typical art public, like a museum public. So I could pick up any space in the park and I could just create any kind of piece. So I like the shelters in the back of the park by the forest and what I've done, I just transformed the space. People who from the community in St. Louis from the area knew that shelters as a kind of stop for a picnic or you know like just having some sort of like a camp site for you, for teenagers. So what I've done, I built the walls like translucent, I used translucent material. I built the walls and I used light and I put a smoke like fog inside. I called the piece Cloud Square and so actually I just wanted to let people in, like to create this sort of like heavenly kind of experience of sky or you know that kind of space where you can reflect, where you can take your time and be contemplative. Oh, this is the shelter. This is how it looked. So I created the frame and I think this is the last image. So let's go back to the first one. What I decided to do is like people were queuing, the line was very long, like for six hours, for six hours or nearly six hours there was like you know tons of people, people had to be like crowd had to be controlled by like 10 people coming in. But what was important for me was the openness that everyone could access for free. I wanted to create a space like a square, like a place of like everyone can meet, like you have in like downtown, I mean in Europe you have the square where everyone gathers. So that's why the piece is called Cloud Square. So I wanted to create a place where kind of everyone is invited and it's very, it's the space that is very free and kind of democratic in a way, in the character. So and also brings people together. So they have an experience, like a collective experience and this in a very short moment, let's say in some minutes they could be together and they can interact together. So they could, I don't know, ask to take a picture, they could interact with each other within that area. So they in fact, they could maybe become like friends with neighbors or you know there was a possibility space for interaction, but within very particular experience which was abstract and reflective. So that immersion that came out before as a topic is like I wanted to immerse people in a moment when people can actually like reset or they can have time for themselves, they have a time to enjoy the life or they can just stop being worried and I think that all this critical thinking and discussion that we have needs some kind of a proposal. So it's very good to point out, you know, that they have a critical view but then the proposal that you were also asking was the solution, was the proposal, what can you propose is I think that kind of art or this kind of art piece or this kind of art pieces that makes it possible.
