| Overview |
Through artist residencies and exhibitions, FOR-SITE supports the creation of work that dynamically addresses geologic, cultural, geopolitical, socioeconomic, and other aspects of place. Artist residencies take place at the Foundation’s 50-acre residency site on the edge of the South Yuba River gorge, just outside the historic gold-mining town of Nevada City.
Museum exhibitions of FOR-SITE-sponsored artists have been held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the de Young Museum, and the Nevada Museum of Art. Resident artists include Richard Long, Cornelia Parker, Chris Drury, Shi Guorui, and Ursula von Rydingsvard. A site-based initiative of the FOR-SITE Foundation, this program provides the public with new ways to experience the natural, historic, and cultural resources of San Francisco's Presidio, a 1,491 acre urban national park that served as a military post for 200 years. In memory of Kim Wauson, a remarkably committed artist advocate, his friends and colleagues have generously funded a fellowship award program under the auspices of the FOR-SITE Foundation. In 2009 FOR-SITE awarded its first fellowships to artists of exceptional merit. |
