DOG Sculpture Installation: Sculptural Evolution.


Once you have claimed your DOG Sculpture at one of the installation events then you can join in with the ongoing public art which will build to a stunning climax next year.

The first part of the evolution is to take your DOG home and photograph all of the situations it gets into. These photographs can then be sent to a central archive by e-mail: dog@takethepebble.com

Once there they will be archived and displayed in an on line gallery. In this way the dynamic of the sculpture grows and it is the members of the public who become the artists and set the DOG within a context.

The photographs can also be posted on social networking sites and you can join the artist at Akane Takayama DOG Sculpture Installation on Facebook. Twitter news will be found through the HumanRightsTV twitter acount.

As the on line exhibition grows all involved will then be invited to take part in a very special and currently very secret event in which the installation will go international. Every member of the DOG art community will receive a credit for their work and several top public galleries will be involved.

  3. Many thanks to you Moira, really appreciate the support. Akane has worked incredibly hard on this and her work with the school children has been inspirational. You would be most welcome, as with everyone else, to join her Facebook group DOG Sculpture Installation. There are a lot of future plans for this work and there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy being a part of this art.
