Art Off-Screen: Global Exhibition curated by Eileen Jeng

“In various states across the US, as well as in multiple countries, art brought local communities together and fostered dialogues on a global scale. Organized by Eileen Jeng Lynch, founder of Neumeraki, Art Off-Screen is an international exhibition of artwork and performances in outward-facing locations around the world, including the United States, Canada, Democratic Republic of Congo, Croatia, and Vietnam.  Over 100 artists have participated.

Art Off-Screen provides an immersive experience that engages the community on the street level, as well as through an interactive lens on this page. View documentation and locations of the projects worldwide through the use of Google Maps (see below). Artists select their locations.

In response to pause orders during the COVID-19 global pandemic, Art Off-Screen provides access to art beyond a computer screen, and forges connections with the community — encouraging conversations, amplifying voices, inspiring creativity, and sending messages of hope and healing. Employing a variety of mediums and sites, artists created new work and/or explored new directions as well as ways of how their art is seen or experienced. Artists addressed issues surrounding the pandemic, racial violence, social injustice, climate change as well as reflections on their artistic practices, among other topics.

This project began on July 18, 2020 and is ongoing with some works on view for the indefinite future.  Additional artists have been participating since July 18. With each new unveiling, occurring on July 18, August 1, August 15, August 29, September 12, September 26, October, November 2020 and beyond, Zoom conversations were conducted with each group of artists, during which they discuss their works.”
