Detail from Phil Anderson’s interview with artist/organizer Nurit Basin:
The show grew in size, one year I believe it was in 2008 we had over 900 artists and over 2000 pieces of artwork. I think the biggest challenge was communicating with so many artists regarding deadlines of dropping off the artwork, making sure all the artwork is accounted for during the show, and the pick-up of the artwork. At the end of each show we learn new things on how to improve the logistics and apply them to the following year.
Anderson: What do think is the attraction for the public to go to Square Foot?
Basin: A couple of things such as the number of artists that take part in the show and the number and variety of works that are exhibited in one room. Once all the artwork in hung it actually starts to look like one big art piece which is the installation itself.
