movsi: Lead Pencil Studio, lead by Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo...
Lead Pencil Studio, lead by Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo (who live in this house, stalkers) recently completed the above project Non-Sign II. The project was commissioned by the US government and is situated along the US-Canada border. I came across the project here, where Jen Graves describes the project’s inspiration as follows:
“They noticed the way the area is packed with signs—advertising billboards, and then, closer to the border, a proliferation of government signs. Their hope is that their sign, flying by enigmatically (“What was that?”), will add a little bit of awareness to the whole signage landscape in the border zone. Just open up a free space, really. How very American. The empty rectangle frames only a view of sky as you drive by, nothing else.”
It’s a sky that looks ominous in the renderings… welcome to America?
