The Arvada Center takes a leap with Unbound

The Arvada Center sits on a very large site, but until recently, the venue had never used the seventeen-acre field just to the south to showcase art. That changed when exhibitions director Collin Parson, along with assistant curator Kristin Bueb, decided to transform the empty land into a xeric sculpture garden. “It’s an obvious thing to do with the field,” says Michael Paglia in this week’s art review, but Parson was the first to pull it off. Unbound: Sculpture in the Field, which was installed with help from Englewood’s Museum of Outdoor Arts, includes the work of fifteen artists, most of whom are represented by two pieces.
