This summer, The Mansfield Art Triennial 'Proximity of Fate' will bring together a mixed group of artists representing a range of perspectives, including national, local and regional artists.
The Proximity of Fate explores how chance reveals complex intentionalities and provokes new narrative agency. The show contemplates who is the artist and what is the art, asking us to experience our own complexities.
The exhibition is organized by Marquise Stillwell, a Mansfield native, whose grade school trips to the Mansfield Art Center planted the seeds of his two-decade long career building communities and products across design, art, and culture: "The MAC is a space that captures the vibrant energy of Mansfield, with its rich history of parks, art and manufacturing. MAC shows how the industrial and the artistic can co-exist. It was always a safe space for being myself.” For Proximity of Fate, Marquise curates a vision of how art, culture, and humanity can share an experience in a space that is such a core part of his foundation.
A list of participating artists is forthcoming.
Proximity of Fate is curated by Openbox Founder + Principal Marquise Stillwell with support from Curatorial Advisors Alice Gray Stites (Chief Curator, 21C Museum Hotels) and Justine Ludwig (Executive Director, Creative Time); and Project Manager Karina Salamanca.
