Recently, Process Architecture has teamed up with Jai Gallery located in downtown Orlando to help curate and manage the Urban Art Museum. Jai Gallery brings over twenty years of experience and will be an essential member of the Urban Art Museum team as the project continues to evolve.
The second, and equally exciting development is the launch of the Urban Art Museum Kickstarter project to help raise funds for the first Urban Art Museum installation.
The Urban Art Museum is a concept that developed through numerous design studios and the work of Process Architecture. The idea is simple - where do you put an art museum in a densely populated commercial district when no funds exist for a structure, let alone art? The answer is anywhere you can. The Urban Art Museum is not a building; it is an urban network of commissioned art pieces that will be installed in select areas to restore blighted structures, reduce pollution, deviant activity, increase the attractiveness of the district and promote organized urban art.
The first installation will occur at the congruence of 932 and 934 North Mills Avenue. The blight is a 9 inch interstitial space that occurs between the two buildings that has become a dumpster and catchall for unwanted items, including but not limited bottles, cans and fast food wrappers.
Members of the Design Team:
The funding request for this first installation is $4,400, please know that any additional funds received will be used to commission artwork for additional installations.
If you would like to help make this project a reality, donate to the Urban Art Museum Kickstarter project. Donations will be rewarded with a number of prizes, from an invite to the unveiling of the first installation to a limited edition art piece designed by Process Architecture and Marcos Cruz commemorating the event.
