Stretching six miles from the bottom to the top of St Louis, and featuring 30 brand new art commissions, along with guided tours, workshops and school field trips, the second Counterpublic art triennial is a vast undertaking that aims to grapple with some sizable questions and redress historical wrongs.
“It was an exciting challenge,” said James McAnally, co-founder of Counterpublic. “In St Louis, the threads of change loom really large, and seeing that grassroots energy of this city, it sparked a lot of excitement. St Louis is really ripe for this kind of boundary-pushing.”
