KIIOOWWAA : Collaborative Installation at Hinterland Art Space in Denver, CO with arists Nora Louise Rolf & Heidi Wiren Bartlett
Hinterland Gallery Website
Sometimes we build monuments to remember.
Sometimes those monuments are clubhouses.
Collaborators Nora Louise Rolf and Heidi Wiren Bartlett originally met while living and attending school in Nebraska. Since 2009 their paths have taken them slowly in opposing directions, Rolf West and Bartlett East. As they move across the US they are continuously faced with similar questions of identity and self when place and home are in flux. Without inherited land, Rolf and Bartlett create space for conversations about place through site-specific installations [clubhouses] mapping their relationship. In the spring of 2014 the artists built the first of their clubhouses at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, NE near the heart of where they called home for nearly ten years. The second installment of Find & Replace takes the artists to a century old homestead in Kiowa, CO to salvage building materials and install them at Hinterland Art Space in Denver. Having no homes of their own, the artists will repurpose the materials and construct one at Hinterland.
Nora and I are funding this project out-of-pocket and we would love a little help from friends and family to make this project financially possible! For this exhibition Nora and I will have to live off the grid in Kiowa, CO and eventually haul all of the materials we have salvaged from the old homestead to Denver. We are requesting donations to help pay for our travel from both Joshua Tree, CA and Iowa City, IA to Denver, the rental of the truck to haul the lumber to Denver from Kiowa, extra building materials and tools that we cannot travel with, and meals for the two weeks we are installing the exhibition.

Nora is living in Joshua Tree, California working for both the artists Andrea Zittel and Alma Allen. Nora's Website
