About the Mobile Arts Platform (MAP)
The Mobile Arts Platform (MAP) is comprised of two large-scale, interactive sculptures that are “activated” by a mobile exhibitions program. MAP brings together Peter Foucault’s Fal-Core Van and Chris Treggiari’s Mobile Store along with Justin Hoover’s curatorial guidance and appears in locations throughout the Bay Area. MAP is presented in collaboration with SOMArts and supported by a grant from the Creative Work Fund. MAP programming in 2010-11 will include a series of five “pop-up” exhibitions.

MAP creates autonomous exhibition spaces accessible to the public to create strong bonds with the communities; an artistic research lab where a cross-pollination of mediums and genres can occur. MAP events variously include video screenings, visual art, performance art, live music, interactive artworks, and culinary art. In essence, MAP builds a temporary, creative microcosm where community and creativity can intersect and flourish.
The Mobile Arts Platform is supported in part by the Creative Work Fund, a program of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund supported by the generous grants from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and by the San Francisco Arts Commission.
