Do You Want to Recomend a Site?

I am always looking for the next site to do an installation. Suitable sites in NY are growing scarce due to a construction boom, old buildings are being renovated or destroyed, I would love to travel the world to scout locations but due to limited funds am unable to, I am looking to find sites in other cities, or countries, be it an urban or rural location. So in this day and age of digital communication I am reaching out to the whole world to an unlimited number of eyes across the world wide web to request collaboration.
So here is my Plea: Do you know of a site that could be used for an Architectural Earth Work?
What is a suitable site? see the next post "Site Requirements".

What about a Breathing Building?

You may have noticed the breathing building on my website and are asking,
"would you be interested in a building I know about to make breathe?"

"Yes. I would. "
If you Know a building with a historic architectural nature that:

Is three or four stories tall

Has no more than three windows per floor

Is owned by a patron of the arts, or an art sympathizer, or someone just willing to have their building turned into art for a short duration.

If you are a Museum or Gallery whose facade might lend itself to breath.


Contact Me.
send location and images of proposed building to info@giannasio.info
Curators welcome.

I will consider your locating a suitable building participation in the process.

If you play a role in acquisition of a building for use I will consider this a collaboration.


Keep your eyes peeled join in the process.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank You
