"Sculpture races are short races (< 1 mile) of pushed, pulled, and select pedaled artwork in urban locations. Racing sculptures uphold a high level of artistic vision and realization in pursuit of a an aesthetic of spectacle. As total art forms, works may include multimedia art and performance. PSR was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2014 as a revival of and tribute to World Sculpture Racing (WSR), which took place during Cambridge Arts River Festival events for five years in the 1980s, and in other locations nationally and worldwide. We thank WSR Co-Founder Geoffrey Koetsch for his kind mentorship. We thank the Arts Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council for granting PSR a Local Cultural Council grant." — Christian Herold |
