(2023) Terrain Biennial

"Like the intentional pause in a musical score, there is a break from the daily noise of my busy life: a sunset walk around the neighborhood with my spouse and dog. Life gets quiet. The sky is changing. The clouds are magical. This gift is a reminder to be present, calm, and in awe of life. A brief but welcome rest before the tempo picks back up. As you ponder this year’s Terrain theme: “Mycelium Connection,” a thriving interconnected ecosystem - ask yourself: How can connecting with nature provide respite in your days and help you thrive?"  - show statement

Terrain Exhibitions brings contemporary art where it is most needed and least expected: yards, front steps, windowsills, porches, and rooftops in neighborhoods worldwide. This is an act of radical decentralization, taking art from privileged urban centers and bringing it into everyday spaces. By forging partnerships between artists and citizens, we create greater access for new and underserved audiences for contemporary art, empowering neighbors to make private spaces public in a spirit of generosity and collaboration.
