I never imagined my images hoisted by crane up into a building before I saw this...
Last Fall I was commissioned by The JBG Companies, a leading investment management firm, owner, and developer, to make panoramas of a number of DC metro area neighborhoods in which they are actively engaged. The project was primarily to create art decor prints for their new Chevy Chase, MD. offices. JBG invests almost exclusively in urban-infill, transit-orineted developments, which to me are some of the most exciting, virtuous renewal projects in the country.
The project was curated by Dena Andre, formerly of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Giant canvas prints were made by Adamson Editions...with some of the prints are over 12 feet long.
Several of the prints were lifted by crane into an open window on the 5th floor of their office as they were to big to fit in the service elevators and primary stairwells. Check out Archival Art Services (the firm that beautifully framed and installed the prints) facebook page with photos of the airlift and installation.
