Considering St. Louis

Considering St. Louis is a curatorial project as a part of The Luminary's Inaugural Curatorial Fellowship, which culminated into a group exhibition featuring new and existing works by St. Louis- based artists, after a year of interviews and research.

To consider is 

to think carefully about (something), typically before making a decision.

to think about and be drawn toward (a course of action).

to regard (someone or something) as having a specified quality.

How do you/we/they think about St. Louis? How does St. Louis hold you, or need to be held? How does its artists? Considering St. Louis began with a question, and through time and space, hasn’t arrived at an answer, but a deepened inquisition of what drives the artistic pursuit of St. Louis based artists, and how they serve as the threads of a city often considered tattered, or not considered at all. Featuring 33 interviews with creatives across disciplines, and a presentation of works made by contemporary local artists, this exhibition is an offering for your consideration. 

Considering St. Louis is the culminating exhibition of a year-long research project that centers St. Louis’ artists, artistic spaces, and institutions, and how they contribute to the artistic landscape and ecosystem of this beloved Midwestern city.
