"The Bartlett Project"

Without a doubt I have learned more from Bartlett rather than the other way around.

"KBART is a low-power FM radio station filled with voices from the community, ranging from age 9 to 92."

Sharing space and taking the time to really listen is the least that we can do. 

"The challenge and content that is built into an alternative space allows my work to respond and accentuate nuances of a history."

I'm interested in working with a building that shows its lifetime — that is an architecture of histories and stories and memories that collide with the present.

"There is not one singular narrative for any place or 'community' — each person carries a perspective that can be honored if met with humility."

Thank goodness for Bartlett's people.

The arts-centered revitalization project and exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, June 12th at 1:00 PM with events and programming.

"I look forward to hearing stories and to learning the experiences from the Black communities in the town."

We should be skeptical of first appearances, because like any place that has history and memory, Bartlett is neither abandoned, nor anywhere near a ghost town.

What happens to the character of these small towns as our city-folk manifest the desire to expand, and as our art centers become more and more decentralized because of it?

Bartlett is in a moment in which the collision of its anachronisms may end up mapping what its future can be. 

This series will be a document of the journey as we move toward building an exhibition that is both relevant to the residents of the town, and a marker of the town’s possible future.
