BROADWAY: 1000 STEPS received support from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation’s Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Program.
“We are delighted to support Mary Miss / City as a Living Laboratory’s project, BROADWAY: 1,000 STEPS, which directly represents our goals for furthering collaborative works which integrate art into new and innovative outcomes. The multi-disciplinary investigation of our city using data from scientists, urban planners, environmentalists thru the eyes of an artist will transform how we experience the everyday.” said Christy MacLear, Executive Director of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
The primary message is that “nature is everywhere and in action at all times, that the city is an urban ecosystem, that an innumerable number of small decisions over time have shaped the environment to be the one we inhabit today, and that our decisions (behavioral choices) impact the future of all of nature.”
