The Grand Rapids Art Museum had a steady line of visitors throughout ArtPrize 2010. Its exhibit included the #1, #5 and #8 winners.
Tony Hendrick's Boy and His King.
Beili Liu's Lure/Forest was the #3 choice in 2010. The installation filled a large room with dozens of red thread coils.
Wander Martich's Helping Mom One Penny at a Time, made out of pennies, was the #6 choice in 2010. At ArtPrize the public often votes for work that is large, was obviously time intensive to create, and is representational.

Highlights of ArtPrize 2014
My top picks for 2014
Jason Ackman, Return To Me. A beautiful installation at the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
Nathan Lareau, Urban Tumbleweed, voted by the public as one of the top five time-based works. Nathan's display showed a video (above) of the contraption/creature (shown below) clanking down streets. A microphone captured the sound as the tumbleweed made its journey through town. Very simple. Very well executed. Brilliant.
Joe Culver, The Mirage Division (series).
