David Adjaye, New Red Order, and 26 other artists will create work for a six-mile stretch along a main drag in St. Louis:
The curators of Counterpublic's second edition, set for May 15 to August 15 of 2023. Clockwise from top left: Allison Glenn, New Red Order, Risa Puleo, Diya Vij, and Dream the Combine., curator James McAnally wondered if “outside the churn of the contemporary art world… could the slow build and release of the triennial offer a more humane pace?”
“The invitation for the curators, for our community engagement team, and now for the artists, has always been to think along a different scale of time,” McAnally told Artnet News. “The invitation was to think ancestrally: What have we inherited? What are we leaving behind?”As for the latter question: quite a bit, it seems.
Other projects will be more ephemeral. For her part, 82-year-old artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith will develop a new map of St. Louis radiating from the city’s oldest remaining burial mound. New Red Order, pulling double duty as both participating artists and curators in the triennial, will likewise turn their attention to what is locally referred to as Mound City, partnering with the Osage Nation to make a film documenting the tribe’s efforts to repatriate the landmark.
