Plans for a celebration of “River Hill” are in the works and will likely take place next summer. Silo City hosts both public and private events throughout the year, and recently hosted the UB Humanities Festival. “It allows students the unique experience to witness and participate in the production process of live art and to collaborate across disciplines with guest artists, UB faculty and community partners.” “We’re thankful for the opportunity provided to us by CAS, and especially by Dean Robin Schulze, to work with the Buffalo community, as well as our partnerships with Dara, Rick and Josh on this project,” Horne said. The opportunity to put the labyrinth in Silo City was made possible by Rigidized Metals owner Rick Smith, who has worked with UB on a few other projects in Silo City, including the installation of a trellis on the property. It will have a huge ecological impact in addition to enriching the human experience of the site,” Smith said. “We are thrilled with the opportunity to partner with Dara and the UB Arts Collaboratory to bring this vision to life. Last month, Friedman was joined by Horne and her students, and Josh Smith, director of ecology for Rigidized Metals and collaborator on the project, to commemorate the fall equinox and plant spotted bee balm, mountain mint and giant purple hyssop throughout the labyrinth, which will also be seeded with chamomile and yarrow next spring. “Totally different design similar process,” Friedman said. Unlike River Hill’s soft dirt and plants, “The Empress” features a poured concrete path with a seashell aggregate, embedded semi-precious stones and hardy native planting between the pathways. The “River Hill” project is her second outdoor labyrinth her first, “The Empress,” is located at a Miami women’s shelter. “The invitation to come and work on this project was an amazing opportunity to make work that is larger than myself, which as an artist is something I aim for,” Friedman said.įriedman is a German-born artist and filmmaker who works primarily in Miami.
WAL hosts renowned scholars and artists, as well as luminaries from the Buffalo community and UB. “The lab brings together UB students, faculty and visiting artists to develop new projects and collaborate across disciplines while engaging with the artists and community where we live and learn,” Horne said. Horne, associate professor of theatre and dance, College of Arts and Sciences, provides a space for UB students to learn and experience what it’s like to be out in the world as a working artist-scholar. The Working Artist Lab (WAL), led by Maria S. The site, located behind Rigidized Metals Corporation on Ohio Street, is part of UB Arts Collaboratory working artist Dara Friedman’s vision to shape and sculpt the property into an active monument. One such collaboration is “River Hill,” a labyrinth etched into a post-industrial site in Silo City that is designed to reflect the meander of the Buffalo River. Buffalo’s abandoned grain silos are getting a second life, thanks to collaborations through UB with artists, architects, musicians and urban explorers.
