Collocation Art Installation
Collocation is a site-specific art installation unfolding at Bainbridge Island's
Pritchard Park between July 2 and September 24, 2005. Eleven works constructed about, from and for the site by artists from Seattle and Bainbridge Island will coexist on the eastern portion of this 50 acre piece of land located at the southeast edge of Eagle Harbor.
Collocation serves as an indicator and reminder of the tension inherent in human participation with place. Within Pritchard Park we see coexistences of lush growth and decay, and we know of a complicated and painful history coupled with insurgent hope for future use. The artists working on this project candidly reveal many of these facets through their work. Viewers are invited to walk the site and collect their own firsthand information as they experience both place and created installation.
Collocation participants include Michelle Arab, Gregory Glynn, Diana Liljelund, Dan Linz, Perri Lynch, Melanie Noel, Polly Purvis, RBF Architects, Amanda Sturgeon, Kristin Tollefson and Ruthie Tomlinson, and is curated by Kristin Tollefson.

Doing this blog is an excellent idea. I'm looking forward to reading people's impressions as the art is installed -- both artists and viewers. Thanks for all your hard work!
I remembered the last 'Arts in the Meadow' at Port Blakely Park two years ago, what a wonderful show that was! Reading the intent of this coming art show, I think it will be a very thought provoking exhibits. I can't wait to see it.
