Epicenter Projects is a contemporary exhibition platform generating site-specific & time-based projects alongside desert regions of the San Andreas Fault.
Epicenter Projects is a nomadic platform unbound from conventional exhibition spaces. Generated for artists working in time-based and site-specific modes of production, Epicenter Projects is a catalyst for contemporary artworks to experimentally emerge within a curated artist residency. Throughout the initial phase of projects, an international selection of contemporary artists will be invited to produce site-specific works alongside the San Andreas Fault Line; one of the largest fault zones in the world that spans throughout California's desert and coastline regions. The San Andreas provides a contextual framework that inherently addresses the ephemeral nature of time, space and environment. While some projects may remain installed within their given site(s) for an audience to experience directly, many projects will exist as fleeting actions captured through an array of documentation: photography, video, audio recordings, publications and/or printed editions.Throughout 2015 a definitive series of online solo exhibitions will individually showcase each artist's project via EpicenterProjects.com. Future Epicenter Projects programming will showcase collective group exhibitions organized by artist & Chief Curator Cristopher Cichocki.
The 2015 program of Epicenter Projects artists include: Shiva Aliabadi, Patrick Gilbert, Luis G. Hernandez, John Knuth, Jane Chang Mi, Filippo Minelli, Olga Koumoundouros, Robert Seidel, Nicolas Shake, Melissa Thorne and Richard Twedt.
