Lee Walton

Definitely one of my favorite artists, Lee Walton has  been gracious enough to offer a collaboration with Thomas and I as curators of this show. We will be executing the third iteration of his ongoing project, You Make the Call, in which a site specific floor sculpture is determined by the results of multiple rounds of Lee golfing. Thomas and my responsibility is to devise the system that will be used to represent these strokes and holes of golf played, and then to execute and document this evolving floor piece.

We are in the throes of figuring out what system we want to pursue, if any of you internetters have an idea, send it on over.

A Shot A Day

March 26—August 15, 2003
(San Francisco, California)

On March 20th, Lee Walton began a round of golf at Lincoln Park Golf Course.

Taking only one shot a day, he finished the round over 5 months later.

Each day, the latest shot along with a brief commentary was posted on the web for the “cybergallery” to view.

The amount of pressure with each shot mounted as more cyber fans began to follow the round.

By the 15th hole, hundreds of people from all over the world were following Lee’s round of golf.

Feeling his joy and frustration, many fans e-mailed words of encouragement and support along with golf tips and related anecdotes.

LW: “The amount of pressure that weighed on each shot was unbearable. Sinking the final putt on hole #18 was the single most incredible accomplishment of my entire life.”
