Art + Landscape STL
Art + Landscape STL is an intensive, short-term laboratory for St. Louis-based artists and designers working at the intersection of art and landscape.
Emerging from an ongoing series of private discussions and excursions, the project is anchored by a public exhibition, Art + Landscape STL, installed throughout G-CADD’s campus and unfolding through five weekends of programs on-site—performances, talks, walks, and more.
Participants: Michael Allen, Betsy Brandt, Christopher Carl, Jennifer Colten, Sage Dawson, Eric Ellingsen, Meghan Grubb, Derek Hoeferlin, Shabez Jamal, Gavin Kroeber, Yowshien Kuo, Aaron Owens, Tim Portlock, Jenny Price, Katherine Simóne Reynolds, Allana Ross, Micah Stanek, Rory Thibault, Westhaven Ensemble, and Rachel Youn. The project is organized by Gavin Kroeber.
