MINT Collective: Collaborative Exhibition at Springbreak Brooklyn immersive Brooklyn, NY. 2018 and Skylab, Columbus Ohio

*Member 2016-18

MINT was a collaborative, multidisciplinary collective founded and operated by artists located in Columbus, Ohio. Abidingly fresh, adaptable, and dynamic, our mission at MINT was to support underrepresented and developing artists, cultivate relationships within the community, embrace alternative projects, and remain persistently disobedient to traditional thinking.

WILL PLAY FOR SPACE 2017: MEATBALL originated from a proposed basketball tournament in which local artist-run spaces would participate: our gallery, a former meat processing facility, transformed into a nearly full-size court, Columbus’ art community as players and spectators in a communal performance. MINT Collective has since vacated our former facilities, alleviating the undue financial burden and mitigating friction between our physical operation and city administration. Without a home court, WILL PLAY FOR SPACE is recontextualized into a broader conversation about displacement and nomadic participation, sustainability, and alternatives to alternatives.
