We are thrilled to announce SOIL SERIES: A Social Drawing‘s participation in Project Anywhere‘s 2018 Global Exhibition Program.

The following is a description of the program from Project Anywhere‘s website:

Project Anywhere is a global blind peer reviewed exhibition program dedicated to promoting artistic research at the outermost limits of location-specificity. Since its inception in 2012, it has hosted between 4 and 9 projects annually. Although descriptions and images of hosted projects are featured on a dedicated website, it is important to stress that Project Anywhere is neither an online gallery nor a journal. It is instead a vehicle for illuminating artistic projects located anywhere and elsewhere in space and time. It is perhaps best imagined as an exhibition space comprising the entire globe in which the role of curator is replaced with a peer evaluation system.”

SOIL SERIES: A Social Drawing is one of nine projects chosen to participate in this year’s program. Other participants include:

We are honored to be represented alongside these remarkable projects. You can learn more about these works by clicking on the links above or visiting Project Anywhere‘s website.

Thank you to Sean Lowry and the Project Anywhere team. We are so excited to begin this new relationship.

Posted by:SOIL SERIES: A Social Drawing

SOIL SERIES: A Social Drawing was a process of serial socially engaged research facilitated by artists Francesca Fiore and Hillary Wagner in collaboration with the rural community of Bethel in Appalachian Ohio. From 2017 to 2019 SOIL SERIES took many forms including conversations, public programs, projects, and collective imagining. A drawing in the most expansive sense, SOIL SERIES was an exercise in relational mark-making. By creating the conditions for new conversations and possibilities around artmaking, the public, and social imagination, SOIL SERIES proposed social drawing as the generative engine for community-initiated action.
