A Way, Away (Listen While I Say) by Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez.
As the first joint commission for Chicago-based artists Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez, A Way, Away (Listen While I Say) activated a building that was slated for demolition and the adjacent land parcel through a series of interventions that drew attention to the life cycle of a building. The project offered arts programming and participatory projects during each of its five phases: Marking, Subtracting, Translating, Shaping, and Healing.
This project was a continuation of PXSTL, a series of design-build commissions organized by the Pulitzer Arts Foundation and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis.
