Project Stillpoint is positioned to become a living art lab and land art site in the Berkshires in Massachusetts.
Anchored by a series of permanent site-specific installations by David Teeple and guest artists, it will support opportunities for residencies, grants, happenings, and cross-disciplinary dialogue.

The Stillpoint dialogic program will facilitate cross-disciplinary conversations by integrating verbal exchange, within site-specific installations, and injecting performative practices, deep in a natural setting.
We have been developing this dialogic system which utilizes immersive environments and disruptive actions to shift perception and foster collaborative inquiry across diverse fields.
“Perception as relationship;
material as agent;
and the world as an entangled field of emergence.”
The installations will serve as vessels for experience, where focused conversations and performances can unfold, and community can gather within the very conditions of perception they establish. In this way, the works become not only structures for contemplation, but a living framework for shared inquiry.
It will include a high-tech studio complex for developing, engineering, and fabricating the installations and providing resources for residency artists, as well as other buildings and structures to support ongoing programs and activities.
Though Project Stillpoint stands within the lineage of land-based installation, from Smithson and Holt to Denes and de Maria, it brings a different proximity and tone. Project Stillpoint will be both remote and accessible, offering a permanent location for major installations within reach of the East Coast’s cultural networks, where an innovative community can take hold and thrive as a experimental lab for a world in transition.
