SITE SPECIFIC PROJECTS

We want a diverse mix of both participants and visitors to be part of our work in order to deepen the experience and increase the range of the dialogue. Our projects are attended by a large non-arts, as well as arts, audience. They are presented free to the public. We locate each project in neighborhoods or central urban locations that encourage passersby to drop in. We choose unoccupied evocative non-traditional sites -- freeing up visitors from coming into the experience with some particular cultural expectations. In this way, visitors are often more available to the experience; a bit unsure of what will happen, their senses are more attuned, and they are looking in an active way at everything to understand what this experience is all about. The projects listed below were all created as site-specific installations.
