My work will be installed along the 47-foot west wall within Brookview Community Center’s main entry, positioning the exhibition directly within one of the building’s primary circulation and gathering spaces. I will also have 2 sculptures on display in the adjacent vestibules. Rather than functioning solely as an exhibition, this project is intended to evolve into an ongoing study of community experience, public space, architecture, and artistic engagement over time. Additional programming, documentation, engagement metrics, and exhibition updates will continue to be added throughout the duration of the project.

Located just west of Minneapolis, Golden Valley maintains a strong culture of parks, recreation, and civic participation, making Brookview an active environment for sustained public interaction. The history of Brookview itself reflects a broader evolution of community space in Minnesota. Originally established in the 1920s as the private Superior Golf Course by the Walker family, the site later became the Brookview Jewish Country Club during a period when anti-Semitism restricted access to many social institutions across the region. In 1968, the property was acquired by the City of Golden Valley and transformed into a public civic resource centered on accessibility and community participation. The original structure was replaced in 2017 by a modern 38,000-square-foot facility designed by HGA Architects, which now serves as a year-round civic and cultural hub for recreation, public programming, local art exhibitions, educational initiatives, and community events.
