Running Fence Revisited creates a context for understanding how conceptual, site-specific artworks retain meaning over time, explores connections between local community and environmental issues, and establishes a context for making visible Wowhaus’ creative process, linking it to that of our forebears. A deeper understanding of the workings underlying large scale aesthetic spectacle will inform a generation of artists and audiences tuned to issues of land use, collaboration and material ecology. To this end, we view Running Fence as an unfinished, evolving work in need of reevaluation in order to serve as a template to guide future public works in this realm.
