This is a great film showing at deadCENTER that all you urbanites will appreciate! It was the Audience Award Winner at SXSW and has won awards at every festival where it has screened. The artist, Stan Herd will be here for the screening. Check out the trailer on the site!

Earthwork is the story of real-life crop artist Stan Herd. In 1994, Stan traveled from Kansas to New York City to create a massive environmental artwork on land owned by Donald Trump. The multi-acre piece was made from soil, rock, plants and vegetation near an underground railway tunnel. Stan recruited a number of homeless individuals living in the tunnel as his crew. Over the months it took to complete the earthwork, Stan dealt with the difficulties of bringing his unique, rural art form to an urban canvas and the many costs exacted upon his life. In an effort to show his unique perspective to a larger audience, Stan unexpectedly encountered the true meaning of his art and its ultimate, lasting rewards.

Looks good, I'll have to check this one and Mat Hoffman's film out.

I screened this film and it is really good. It stars one of my favorite actors, John Hawkes, who plays the lead role. Not a very actionable film, but certainly a compelling story, and the work that this artist has done is nothing short of amazing. Wish we could have him do something for the new C2S park. Seriously.
