TuckUnder Projects needs your help for its inaugural year of interior and exterior art exhibit programming including five solo platform exhibits that engage the local community with under recognized local and regional emerging artists and curators working in visual arts, video, multimedia, site specific sculpture and installation thru 2012.
TuckUnder is an independent artist exhibition space and sculpture site located within the Fulton neighborhood of Southwest Minneapolis. As an alternative, hybridic home-based contemporary gallery, TuckUnder specializes in unrecognized emerging artists and curatorial collaborators, tactical institutional critique, participatory initiatives and conceptual curatorial projects. Artistic quality at TuckUnder is based upon artist’s tactical aesthetics, participatory exchange, and conceptual fortitude rather than traditionally conservative art fair and gallery criteria.
TuckUnder gives control to artists and curators in what they choose to produce and exhibit. As an activist creative startup and non-commercial site, it has been funded within the economy of the artist household. Its success is not grounded in sales, press or conventional measures set forth by the international art apparatus, but by the individual criteria set forth by the artists, curators and their exhibits. TuckUnder engages ideas of artistic process and studio practice rather than institutional art distribution. We consider our visual artists, curators and collaborators to be partners and co-creators working in a larger ecosystem of visual cultural production.
Specifically, TuckUnders first year of programming will be a two-fold focus of five exhibit platforms: interior garage exhibits and exterior site-specific sculptures/installations. For the interior focus, TuckUnder plans to create, curate and produce five solo or collaborative projects that engage and empower emerging artists with the local community. For the exterior component, TuckUnder plans five site specific sculpture platforms that engage emerging artists and sculptors with the 1950’s architecture of the TuckUnder garage surrounds.
The interior gallery of TuckUnder is small, meek, and humble at first glance. The unique size, brick walls, garage door, and preexisting structure of the former homeowners offer a unique challenge to artists, curators and collaborators. The interior of TuckUnder houses preexisting arenas that offer artists a rare venue to create and install their art in an alternative and hybridic setting. Artists and collaborators will choose both their working methods and portions of the interior in which they wish to develop their project.
The exterior of TuckUnder is also small and anonymous at first glance. As a colonial style home built in the post WW II housing boom of the 1950’s, it offers a unique sculpture site with campy preexisting yard ornaments and architectural quirks. The five TuckUnder exterior sculpture sites include: Three Butterflies, Sculpture Garden, Mural Wall, Scenic Overlook, and Raspberry Patch. The sites will allow five or more artists, curators and collaborators an opportunity to develop and install a wide range of nontraditional permanent and removable sculptures within an alternative venue.
Artistically, TuckUnder is a visual conduit for artist careers, and engages artists and communities that have historically been separate. Participatory in nature, TuckUnder aims to stretch the quality and abilities of under recognized artists and curators who would not otherwise have an opportunity to have or curate an exhibit, or to develop a site specific installation or sculpture. TuckUnder seeks emerging artists who are at turning points in their careers, who have high goals, and who seek to build a significant regional and national reputation with noteworthy museums.
Rarely are there Archie Bunker-style homes in any city that offer coevolving project opportunities for artists. TuckUnder will help break the traditional disconnect between museum and gallery status, and art studio and homeownership. TuckUnder offers a fresh blur between art and life, home and studio, home and gallery. As a refreshing twist stimulating new forms of representation, TuckUnder maintains a high degree of intellectual access that challenges assumptions about the meaning of art, presentation and process. TuckUnder upholds a diverse view of artistic interpretation, and maintains a mission of remaining idiosyncratic and separate from sanitized suburban models of nonprofit activity and traditional conservative presentation. Thank you for your forward thinking & Giving to the Max!
