Cornell's Karen Brummund will install a full-scale drawing of a barn on the very building it depicts, June 14-15 at 135 Storm Road in Groton, N.Y. The public's participation in the project will become both art and documentation.

Brummund, a digital image instruction assistant for Cornell's Fine Arts Library and the College of Architecture, Art and Planning, makes time-based drawings that use public space like a canvas. For this project, she created a drawing of the barn in Groton, digitally enlarged it to the same scale as the building and printed the image on letter-sized paper to hang on the barn's façade. The interlacing layers of the real and the represented create a new, imaginary space, Brummund says.

The installation will remain until the papers are destroyed by weather and fall off. It will be documented through video, photography and community drawings, to be integrated as layers in future artworks.

Brummund will hang the installation June 14, and a "Community Draw" will be held June 15 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the site. Drawings contributed to the artist will help document the project in exhibitions and inspire new work. No drawing experience is required; paper and graphite will be provided.

Brummund also has a video installation in the Everson 2008 Biennial, opening June 13 in Syracuse. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions, screenings and public spaces in England, Russia, Canada and the United States.

The Storm Road project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and a New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Grant administered by the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.
