SYMPOSIUM 2013
The New Art Archaeology Project continues for the third year. A massive pile of granite blocks carved in place by a continually changing cast of prominent U.S. and international sculptors continues to influence the landscape. During the annual Symposium sculptors congregate for a three week residency at CAI to carve a stone on the pile gleaned from this former working granite quarry. The intent is for the finished sculptures to remain permanently on site as an archaeological landmark for the future.
