forget snakes on a plane - this is art on a train!!

The Trans-Siberian Arts Centre (T-SAC) is Directed by artists jon hewitt + britt salt and is the inaugural project for the not for profit artist run initiative KITCHEN.

T-SAC presented a series of exhibitions, performances, and events from the 26th April- 2nd May 2011 during a 6 day train journey from Moscow to Beijing to support and promote new emerging art internationally.

i submitted a postcard size version of "untitled" which was accepted along with over 100 other artists from all over the world. from Australia to Mexico, Italy to Canada.

the T-SAC project askes "what do art centres do?" or more so, "what CAN art centres do?" the format of a traveling art space promotes the importance of linking a variety of urban city spaces around the world and in turn, also creates the opportunity for these spaces to be linked with rural environments; a non-discriminate approach to promoting artists and ideas.

it is within this format that KITCHEN are exploring how to encourage young and emerging artists in new exciting ways.

their aim is to provide international opportunities and alternative methods of presenting artist projects which offers the potential to expose emerging artists to new skills, experimentation, professional networks and wider audiences.

here are a few images of documentation of the events...
