Fugitive Projects
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Fugitive Projects is a non-profit curatorial arts organization, arts collective, and beehive operating since 1999 out of Nashville, Tennessee.
From 1999- 2005 Fugitive Projects called itself the Fugitive Art Center bringing national and international artists to Nashville to exhibit in their warehouse gallery space. In both configurations they served as an artist advocacy, curatorial resource and databank. Since restructuring they have focused more on ephemeral exhibitions and involvement with exhibitions traveling to the IMAFY in Egypt; Banff, Canada for The Interactive Screen Conference; Ireland's Dublin Electronic Arts Festival; Basel, Switzerland and to venues across the U.S. Artists with video works in this touring program included Hernan Bas, Charles De Meaux, e*rock, Haus am Gern, Jenna Gribbon, Muda Matthis / Sus Zwick, Casey Reas, Scott Reeder, Magda Tothova, Moliu Zhang, Eliane Rutishauser, Melody Owen, Charles Huntley Nelson, Kristin Lucas, Matt Freedman, Bert Rodriguez, Dominic DeJoseph, Nicolas Lobo, Karina Nimmerfall, Jeff Luckey, and Joseph Burwell among others.
David Maddox in the Nashville Scene said in 2004 "the Fugitive (Art Center) has become an essential part of Nashville's art scene...The Fugitive can point to a steady series of good shows, but that's only part of the group's significance to Nashville. Its 12-person board provides a cross-section of the city's art scene."
Susan Knowles, in Art Papers, refers to The Fugitive Art Center as "unbridled energy", "a lightning rod for artists" and "the edge of visual dialogue in Nashville- and Tennessee."
