In addition to the art activity, I think this Set would also be a great jumping off point for storytelling and writing activities.

This video of a lecture given at the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2010 provides some context for this work made at the Kohler Foundry in Wisconsin.

Quote from the Flickr page:

In connection with my exhibition at the Walker Art Center, I'm creating a series of Flickr group projects that are linked to my photographic process.

Assignment #1: The Treasure Hunt

A trick I use to find pictures is to create a list of things I'm curious about and then go and beat the bushes. Even if I don't find what I'm looking for, it gets me out the door and moving around in the world.

For our first Flickr Project, I've created a list of 10 items to photograph. Shoot as many as you can and post them in our group pool, and then check out our "Discussions" pages to talk about your work. I'll post some of my favorite images on the Walker Art Center Visual Arts blog. On October 1st I'll pick my favorite treasure hunter and send them a signed copy of the From Here to There catalogue. You can check out an interview with me from this book here.
