Strawberry Cupcorn Unicake Free Wifis (last word pronounced Wî-fē's), was an installation that occurred in March of 2018 at Morgantown, West Virginia's Arts Monogahela space. The project was a collaboration between students at the Mountaineer Boys and Girls Club (an after school program) and members of The Bench: an Artist's Collective. Bench members conducted a series of weekly lessons at the Club, introducing students, from 2nd to 6th grade, to installation art by the likes of Sarah Sze. The project culminated in a public exhibition of their own installation. Lessons began with the construction of a Sze-esque installation with classroom materials, and continued for 9 weeks to cover research, journalling, show design, critique, making invitations, final installation at the Arts Mon Space, the opening, and a reflection. In the video above, the students describe the thought processes behind their work.
