Los Vecinos Apartments is A LEED Certified complex located at 1501 Broadway (Chula Visat, CA). It has over 200 art elements, some in view for the public and some in each apartment. I made demonstration pieces like two kinetic solar powered sculptures, a cistern that waters a bio fuel plant, and many ways to recycle. There is an educational component for the after school Art Verde program where I wrote the curriculum and made interactive pieces to base young art from. It was created in coordination with Wakeland Development, Carlos Rodriguez Architecture, and Ivy Landscape.

Welcome to Nina’s Blog. I am quickly classified as a public artist, generally meaning art for the public realm. It is different than a gallery/museum way of thinking. My way of making public art has manifested more traditionally as a site specific sculpture for a fire station. It encompasses some gorilla installations, some home and environmental designs and most recently many apartment developments. Usually having a theme, like; solar powered, low income, green, and educational. Apartment complex art is not interior design. The viewing audience is a hybrid of the general public and private art in a public space. I enjoy the variety.
