Feature
CAMPER (Contemporary Art Mobile Public Exhibition Rig) is a 1975 Dodge Empress motor-home, modified to become a portable public exhibition and project space.  CAMPER’s mandate is to investigate the places where art, the road, education, and recreation meet, and to explore these intersections in an inclusive, participation-oriented manner that fosters public engagement and appreciation of contemporary art practices.
CAMPER initially started out hosting the popular Patch Project. After three successful years, CAMPER was reinvented as a project-based residency program that offered artists the unique opportunity for artistic exploration and public engagement. This year CAMPER will host the new outdoor screening series, Bike-in Cinema! Three separate screening events will take place, each offering a different selection of films and animations curated by a partnering new-media organization. The events of Bike-in Cinema will lead up to this year's CAMPER Residency with artistic duo Ian Birse and Laura Kavanaugh, collectively known as Instant Places.
