Field Works - What Is The City Hiding [Stuart Hyatt]


Stuart Hyatt is a musician and multimedia artist from Indianapolis. He is a member of the Colorado-based artist collective M12. Hyatt is most well known for two albums, 2005's The Clouds and 2007's Shrimp Attack, for which he composed the music and organized the recording of the songs, which were sung by, respectively, local gospel choirs and amateur singers in Sumter County, Alabama, and a 50-member collective of artists with developmental disabilities at Creative Clay, a nonprofit arts center in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Clouds received a Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package in 2005 for Hyatt's handmade corrugated cardboard CD package. The albums were originally released on Hyatt's own label, Team Records, and later re-released by Minneapolis label Innova Recordings. Hyatt's other releases on Team Records have followed a similar community-based approach typified by collectives of nonprofessional musicians organized by Hyatt.

In 2005, Hyatt received a prestigious Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship, awarded yearly to artists in the Midwest to reward creativity and encourage emerging and established artists.
