Our launching point is a gathering in the galleries to discuss how the parameters of the space in which we live informs our creative process. Over the following months, we will walk a series of loops within the geographical town line, and create work that is actively driven by the experience of becoming more aware of the space around us. The project will culminate with a second, book-ending Gallery Conversation in April, where we will discuss the act of walking within our geographical boundaries together, and how the experiences shaped the work.

Pete Hocking is an interdisciplinary artist, activist, and teacher who works between Providence, Rhode Island & Provincetown, Massachusetts. His work is concerned with personal narrative, poetics, and political consciousness. His studio practice focuses on both spatial poetics and the construction of identity within the context of contemporary social and political life. In addition he is interested in the ways that individual human identity is inscribed into human and non-human landscapes, and ultimately in the ways that the non-human world defies human intervention.
