Community Connections
Community connections are an essential aspect of the project. When describing this project, Calame stated, "In Industrial Trace my audience is also my subject matter–I give the people of Buffalo the opportunity to see an artwork constructed out of the marks and traces of their city, some marks of which they might have inadvertently created. I hope to draw the citizens of Buffalo to their museum by reflecting the most overlooked aspect of their environment–street marks and industrial detritus. Formally, I transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Similarly, I hope for the process of looking at art in the museum to be an inclusive and hallowed act of freedom of thought an imagination."
