fine arts bivouac

bivouac: (n.) a temporary encampment often in an un-sheltered area.

– The Fine Arts Bivouac  is a curatorial effort placing engaging contemporary art in/on location with a certain specificity of place or region integral to the intent of the artist and therefore the art. The temporary placement of the art, in most cases distant from the artist, will rely on the curatorial intent to find worthy locations that might get attention from perhaps the flaneur (urban) or hiker, alpinist or traveler. I am equally as interested in the resulting documentation of the bivouacs.

The distinction with the Fine Arts Bivouac, from an un-fixed location, is the singular focus on the art through the curated and critical interest in the surprise attention of passersby in considered locations.

–If an artist is interested in bivouacking (camping) him or herself along with the art, I can function as guide and outfitter to an experience in either the Great Basin or Sierra Nevada. Making projects on-site, in the wilderness, while responding to locale could maximize the potential from this kind of experience.
