Studio Echelman announced that the presentation of Janet Echelman at the annual Conference of the TED will be first as a video tour on TED.com now.
TED is known for having invited "of the world most fascinating thinkers and doers" to talk about their lives and work. Nine-minute video about the Echelman has the right "" Imagination taken seriously.""
Echelman, a self-taught artist, tells the story of his first breakthrough creative in sculpture - a review of common materials - which has become a catalyst for his monumental works. She recalled a walk in a village of fishermen in India as a young artist who, after a series of setbacks, one day recognized the latent beauty and the sculptural possibilities in fishing nets.
"I had seen it every day", she explained, "but this time that I saw it differently - a new approach to sculpture, a way to create the volumetric shape without heavy solids." With the help of local fishermen, she used the ancient knotting craft to create its first satisfactory sculpture: a self-portrait volutes entitled "Broad hips."
Today, the sculptures of Echelman received international recognition for urban transformation and "place." This month, the Phoenix Civic space Park, sculpture of 145-ft-tall of the home of Echelman "Her Secret is Patience", has received a prestigious biennial Rudy Bruner Award for urban Excellence medal. In addition, this month above Echelman starts the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation to pursue creative research, a price for one year.
Additional international commissions include the Portugal, "Water Sky Garden" 164-ft-tall "It Changes", the first at the Olympic Winter Games of 2010 in Vancouver, and "Beating Every" second in the San Francisco International Airport new Terminal 2, House of Virgin America and American Airlines.
Echelman uses various materials to reshape urban space with soft sculptures that move with the environmental forces. His most recent commission, scheduled for completion in 2013 in downtown Philadelphia Dilworth Plaza, is a dynamic sculpture which traces tracks above ground subway trains with curtains of "dry-mist" and light colour.
