The project will give contemporary artists of ail types the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the unique environment of Mountsberg in order to create and instaîl new masterpieces that respond to the area. Artists selected for the project will be invited to create works that use nat- ural mateials; and items that are either found at Mountsberg, are readily avail- able native materials or are related materials that speak to Mountsberg's landscape. The use of soil, branches, wood, leaves, organic matter, stones or even water are possibilities Some resulting works will be tempo- ra-y, while others may be permanent. This years artist is Hamilton-based Simon Frank, who wilI work with Mountsberg until October. He was selected for the position based on bis body of work and bis interest in creating art that explores the social responsibility of those who live in an urban industrialized environ- ment. The natural environment will pro- vide te materials and inspiration for Franks investigation of the relationship between nature and culture. Frank uses a wide range of approaches in bis art, including sculp- ture and installation, performance, photography and video. The project is funded by the Ontario Arts Council.
