ArtPrize 10

Anything here sound familiar?

The entry is called "Grate Lakes."

It's the second straight year the artist has brought a memorable piece to ArtPrize. Last year, it was video/sculpture called "Object-Orientalis" at the Fed Galleries at KCAD.

Danielle Hoff's entry can be seen at Muse GR at 727 Leonard St NW which is one of the five finalists for Best Venue.

A well-thought-out piece or a gimmicky trick?

Long explains how blood has historically been used to create art.

What is it made of? That becomes clear as you draw closer.

A powerful piece about drone-strike civilian deaths.

It's a sampling of the full collection which began 25 years ago and has been featured around the world as a project called WE ARE ALL HOMELESS and in a documentary called "Signs of Humanity".

The film tells the story of Leslie King who was molested at 8 and forced into prostitution at 15. She spent over 20 years trapped and addicted before breaking free in 2000.

Guns have always been a theme among ArtPrize artists.

Another welcome expansion to ArtPrize!
