Co-commissioned by the Toronto Biennial and the FRONT International: Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art., the works will travel to Northeast Ohio this summer.
Widely known names on the FRONT exhibit list include those of Chicago artist Theaster Gates, Yoshitomo Nara of Japan, and Julie Mehretu, and Chakaia Booker of New York. Launched in 2018, the inaugural FRONT attracted over 90,000 visitors from more than 25 countries and generated $31 million in economic impact across the region. Funded largely through private, foundation, and corporate donations, it cost $5 million, a price tag the show expects to exceed by $500,000 this year.
