The Olana Partnership and Wave Farm's WGXC has been awarded a Certificate of Commendation from the Museum Association of New York for the Sept. 2013 event, Framing the Viewshed: Groundswell. The project was one of 15 honored during a special ceremony held at the Association's annual Museums in Action Conference in Albany, Mon., Mar. 31. The awards are made annually to recognize outstanding work in the museum community, reward staff and volunteers, and provide encouragement for development of new and innovative projects. Groundswell was a collaboration between Olana and WGXC, which featured site-specific works in sound, text, installation and movement. More than a dozen artists, including DJ Spooky, Pauline Oliveros and Bobby Previte, reflected on and reacted to Olana as an ambitious and early environmental work during the one-day event.
