Earlier this year, we learned that there would be one entry in the Grand River at ArtPrize Seven. Jane Cassidy’s “Brumaire is the color”, an audio/visual installation, was set to be installed on the underside of the Pearl Street Bridge. Cassidy has had to withdraw from ArtPrize after the installation proved to be too difficult to get installed.
