The Audible Gasp Agency presents MonumentuM - a curated, site-specific sculpture walk. We collaborate, curate and install a uniquely presented 'Path of Forms', bending the landscape into a theatre of form and presence.
The pervasive impact of an engaging, dynamic art presence in the hotel and resort industry is well known. The associated exclusivity and sophistication is unmatched by other attractions. Guest experience is transformed, the publicity and promotional opportunities are vast, and the social media content pathways obvious.
WHO WE ARE
The Audible Gasp Agency is a creative agency from Los Angeles, helmed by artist Stephen Reynolds, with partner, artist Sarah Chuldenko (MFA, NY Academy of Art). Reynolds has an extensive history in the arts; a signed musician (UMG), commercial director, an exhibiting painter and sculptor whose work has appeared in Chelsea galleries, the Los Angeles riverbed, Burning Man, and the cover of Architectural Digest. Chuldenko has exhibited widely and been covered extensively, and prior work includes painting for Jeff Koons. The team includes longtime collaborators and established creative figures from the film, VFX, art, fashion and photography worlds.
Collectively AGA work in media from moving pictures to special events, with a running theme of artfulness and wonder.
MONUMENTUM
MonumentuM is our latest offering. It is a uniquely curated outdoor sculpture exhibition, specifically designed for resorts and hotels. The work is drawn from artists both local and global, and each sculpture walk is themed in collaboration with the resort to enhance the existing physical and geographic highlights, and to suit the guest demographic and broader resort brand. The Path of Forms is always unique and always captivating, both day and night.
ARTWORKS
MonumentuM is a synthesis of the contemporary fine art world, and the emerging, more dynamic and immersive artworks. Sometimes they overlap. The opportunity to deeply engage and transform the viewer exists in both. We also present more interactive, kinetic work that is found at Burning Man, or Meow Wolf; ‘lit-at-night’. Thoughtful, bold curation can successfully combine the best of both worlds.
HOW IT WORKS
The Path of Forms is a versatile attraction. The exhibition is temporary (6-12 months) and the artworks are rented by the month, with a fee for installation and removal. With the Monumentum Model (vs. the acquisitory route) the art story evolves, and completely changes periodically. The themes can vary, and the return guest is rewarded. The works vary in scale and rate, determined by the theme, budget and space. *once installed the exhibition needs no staffing or input from the resort.
The actual sites on premises are identified in conjunction with resort management, with a view to creating a profound guest journey, physically and otherwise.
FIRST STEP
is a free consultation to determine the scale, the budget and the opportunities presented by the site. We then present a 3D Augmented Reality walk-through of the Path, with first drafts of themes and potential combinations of sculptures and installations.

SCULPTURES AND INSTALLATIONS
What's the difference? A sculpture is within an environment, an installation is the environment.
