STATION TO STATION: A COLLABORATIVE ARTS PROJECT BY DOUG AITKEN

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a train full of artists and installations traveling across the country:  Organized by artist Doug Aitken, Station to Station connects leading figures and underground creators from the worlds of art, music, food, literature, and film for a series of cultural interventions and site-specific happenings. The train, designed as a moving, kinetic light sculpture, will broadcast unique content and experiences to a global audience.

A public art project made possible by the Levi’s® brand, Station to Station will raise funds through ticket sales and donations to support non-traditional programming at nine partner museums around the country.

For a brief moment, the most interesting place in the country will be a moving target.

The next stops are Santa Fe, Winslow, Barstow, Los Angeles and Oakland. Reports from the New York event were glowing. Read more about the project here.  Also, take a moment and read this gorgeous essay by James Turrell (one of the participants) about the experience here.
