we, along with a group of like minded artists/designers
are calling ourselves "AAG" or Airline Aluminum Group.
Artist statement: We, AAG llc, represent a collective of artists, designers, engineers, fabricators,modelmakers and builders. Our approach is to add an interesting aesthetic to the downtown Grand River profile with a piece both enigmatic and fluid as the Grand Vittesse herself. An homage to Alexander Calder, Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Moore,the furniture industry of the 1920s and to all the bridge-workers who have built and maintained these many structures over the grand. Having storied degrees from many accredited institutions such as, Kendall College of Art& Design, Grand Valley State University, Northwestern Michigan University,Calvin College, THE School of Hard Knocks and New York University, just to name a few, we, as a group, have over 30 years experience in our varied interests.From office chairs to burning Viking ships to the support of public and private patrons we would like to continue our work in keeping the arts alive in Grand Rapids.
Sincerely,
Richard App
