“Collaboration, solidarity, and supporting one another are important values, especially today in these times of uncertainty.” Visual Arts Curator Pavel Pyś introduces “Side by Side: Collaborative Artistic Practices in the United States, 1960s–1980s,” the newest volume in the Walker’s ongoing Living Collections Catalogue, which examines artists whose works were “highly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and often aligned with concurrent social movements.” He highlights a chapter by Ross Elfline that looks at a moment in 1971 when Viennese architecture collective Haus-Rucker-Co visited the Walker to create an edible scale model of Minneapolis, entitled Food City I, on land that now is home to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
