Founded in October of 2011 by artist Sabina Ott and author John Paulett, Terrain is a public exhibition space in Oak Park, IL. Terrain is dedicated to featuring interventions into the conventional landscape of a front yard by emerging as well as established artists who have been invited to create a site-specific work that challenges the space between public and private, decoration and function, figure and ground. Terrain differs from many other alternative art platforms in that the artworks are accessible 24 hours a day, year round. Situated in Oak Park, Illinois, Terrain is directly across from Longfellow Elementary School and across from Longfellow Park near Ridgeland and Jackson Avenues. Visitors, neighbors, school children, teachers and their parents are exposed to challenging contemporary art, offering the experience of discovery and surprise to the community. Terrain exhibits work that expands, both, the audience of an artwork and the function of a suburban front yard.
This year, 115 sites and well over as many artists are participating. Projects include sites across Chicagoland, Springfield, Iowa City, Los Angeles, Tucson, and Marnay-sur-Seine, France. A guide to all locations and the dates of the openings for each neighborhood will be posted to the website.
Artist Jeroen Nelemans, born in the Netherlands and currently living in Chicago, creates a light pieces inspired by urban signage. Sparked by the Dutch artistic movement “De Stijl”, the artist here is turning the primary colors into signage that has no meaning. An urban signage that does not promote, brand or tells the viewer what to do. A temporary Urban Anti Monument.
