Partnership House is a collaborative project between Cedar Lorca Nordbye and Juan Rojo that will be installed in at INTERSTRUCT , a multi-venue, site-specific exhibition of art in non-art spaces throughout Lexington.
Lexington Art League invited collaborative artist groups and individual artists to create new works in response to a specific location, considering architecture, history, place, and other contextual information to redefine the space through art. With a focus on experimentation and transformation, the works presented will activate space and offer transportive experiences for all who move through them.
