Superfund Art Project Region 4 - by Mallory O'Connor

The Project

Region4: Transformation Through Imagination is an art exhibit being organized by the Superfund Art Project (SAP) and hosted by the Thomas Center Gallery in collaboration with Protect Gainesville Citizens, Inc. (PGC) and the City's Division of Cultural Affairs. The exhibit and related programs will be managed by oconnorartLLC. The exhibition and related programs are funded in part by a grant from the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council.

The exhibit, Region4: Transformation Through Imagination, will consist of 30 original art works by contemporary Florida artists that will document the history of the Cabot-Koppers Superfund site, address the artist's interaction with the site and their interpretations of the significance of the site in their own lives and in the life of our community, and explore ideas for re-claiming the site following remediation and for healing the physical and psychological traumas induced by the presence of the Superfund site.
