SUMMARY:Alicja Kwade | ParaPosition Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:2025-2026 season opener\nExperience the opening of ParaPosition\, a remarkable sculpture by Alicja Kwade\, made of slim interlocking steel frames supporting four boulders and a blue chair made of bronze\, in celebration of Grace Farms’ 10 Year. \nAt 3 pm\, Kwade will join Grace Farms’ Chief Strategic Officer and Founding Creative Director\, Chelsea Thatcher\, for a conversation about her inspiration and the sculpture’s dialogue with our site and mission. \nAbout ParaPosition: \nParaPosition’s array of steel and stone draws viewers into the frame of this massive\, yet fragile\, universe. The substantial stones\, with their immense weight\, appear to defy gravity in an almost weightless balancing act. The chair beckons viewers to reflect on our relationship with the world and contemplate the fundamental nature of our existence. \n  \n“Alicja Kwade is approaching themes about society and human flourishing in the same spirit as we are at Grace Farms Foundation — imploring us to expand our perspective by asking questions. At Grace Farms\, we seek new outcomes on pressing humanitarian issues by breaking down silos and facilitating dialogue across sectors.” \n– Sharon Prince\, Grace Farms CEO and Founder \nImage courtesy the artist and 303 Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:James Florio's Studio at Grace Farms
DESCRIPTION:Step into the studio life of architectural photographer James Florio. \nFlorio is Grace Farms’ Artist-in-Residence\, visiting throughout the seasons to build a body of work composed on large format film. Encounter Florio’s creative process in the Grace Farms Library\, which will temporarily transform to display his photography\, along with curated\, tactile elements representing his Montana studio. \nLarge format film removes barriers between the viewer and image to capture the world as it is: simple yet complex\, imperfect but beautiful. During his residency\, Florio explores how the River building—with glass walls that remove barriers between people and nature—transforms with the landscape across the seasons. \nAbout James Florio\nJames Florio is a Montana-based photographer focused on the built environment and the life surrounding it. He works slowly whenever possible\, visiting a place repeatedly to gain a greater understanding of it and to deliver a thoughtful and profound interpretation. Using the camera as a means to investigate\, understand\, and document\, he prefers to work with large format film for its depth and deliberation. In 2022\, he was awarded the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award. \nHis work is featured in various publications and books\, including the MAS Context book\, Radical Logic\, On the Work of Ensamble Studio\, the two upcoming books\, FOG and Thirtysix Views of Inverted Portal\, the Divisare Book set\, Structures of Landscape-James Florio\, Gio Ponti in the American West\, Kengo Kuma: Portland Japanese Garden\, National Geographic Traveler\, Domus\, Architectural Record\, Modern in Denver\, and others.

DESCRIPTION:Step into the studio life of architectural photographer James Florio. \nFlorio is Grace Farms’ Artist-in-Residence\, visiting throughout the seasons to build a body of work composed on large format film. Encounter Florio’s creative process in the Grace Farms Library\, which will temporarily transform to display his photography\, along with curated\, tactile elements representing his Montana studio. \nLarge format film removes barriers between the viewer and image to capture the world as it is: simple yet complex\, imperfect but beautiful. During his residency\, Florio explores how the River building—with glass walls that remove barriers between people and nature—transforms with the landscape across the seasons. \nAbout James Florio\nJames Florio is a Montana-based photographer focused on the built environment and the life surrounding it. He works slowly whenever possible\, visiting a place repeatedly to gain a greater understanding of it and to deliver a thoughtful and profound interpretation. Using the camera as a means to investigate\, understand\, and document\, he prefers to work with large format film for its depth and deliberation. In 2022\, he was awarded the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award. \nHis work is featured in various publications and books\, including the MAS Context book\, Radical Logic\, On the Work of Ensamble Studio\, the two upcoming books\, FOG and Thirtysix Views of Inverted Portal\, the Divisare Book set\, Structures of Landscape-James Florio\, Gio Ponti in the American West\, Kengo Kuma: Portland Japanese Garden\, National Geographic Traveler\, Domus\, Architectural Record\, Modern in Denver\, and others.
