As part of our work as Production Managers for the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts in 2013, Clear Story was responsible for all aspects of Florentijn Hofman’s Rubber Duck project, as it made its first appearance in the United States on Pittsburgh’s three rivers. Providing detail-oriented Artistic Production Management services to the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, our work on the Rubber Duck included all advance planning and site selection, direct collaboration with the artist, vendor selection, fabrication coordination, permitting and approval from various authorities, technical logistics, launch choreography, and exhibition oversight.
