DESCRIPTION
Magic Chromacity (2014) was a large-scale fabric piece that was draped over the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts building and Alys Stephens Center in Birmingham, AL on the campus of University of Alabama, Birmingham. It was sponsored by the Art and Art History Department and Performing Arts Department of UAB. This site-specific piece was created, sewn, donated and installed by the people of Birmingham, Alabama. The name of the project references the nickname "Magic City" and the metal that was forged at the Sloss Furnaces (Chrome / City).

Magic ChromacityAmanda Browder - 2014
...in november, Lauren Lake wrote me asking if I would like to come Bir-mingham, AL to do a project at UAB. I was excited about the opportunity and couldn’t wait to visit. What I found after my second visit was a pleth-ora of magical people who live in Birmingham. Their strength, creativity and spectacular personalities made the process of sewing and installing “Magic Chromacity” an experience I will never forget. THANK YOU to...the City of Birmingham, UAB, Art and Art History Department, AEIVA, Alys Stephens Center, Bib & Tucker, Art Play, Jared, Lauren, Lillis, Doug, Doug, Stacey, Sonja, Monica, Robert, John, Christina, June, Nobie, Lorie, Dar-lena, Shirley, Kyle, Michelle, Jacob, Adam, JD, Lisa, Heath, Helena, Gwen, Kimberly, Laura, Ellen, Fred, Walt....too many, so much love to you all.
