Visiting artists are encouraged to participate in the constraints and opportunities the venue offers by constructing installations of exceptional art in a transom above the front door of an 1880's Pullman's worker flat. Occasionally the art spills out into the community in various ways allowing for interesting interactions between the artists, art, architecture, and community. Ever expanding venues include the Hotel Florence, Pullman factory site, Market Square, public and private spaces, and more. mosnart visiting artist project Terrain Biennial: Founded in October of 2011 by artist Sabina Ott and author John Paulett, Terrain Exhibitions and the Terrain Biennial repurposes private spaces such as front yards, porches, or windows, turning them into public spaces in order to foster dialogue between neighbors and provide opportunities for artists and viewers alike to experience new perspectives. Terrain has hosted over 60 individual artist site specific projects and several group shows. The projects for the 3rd Terrain Biennial will range from sculptural installations to time-based performances to public interventions. A map of all locations and the dates of the openings for each neighborhood will be available at www.terrainexhibitions.com |
