A collective exhibition of work from the Art on Farm projects from 2009 – 2011. The Art on Farm projects at the Jim Thompson Farm began with the collaboration of the Jim Thompson Art Center and the Jim Thompson Farm. We invited artists to produce works in the context of Eco Agriculture and North Eastern style architecture, giving the artists the opportunity to interrelate between art and the environment, including the raising of silk worms, agriculture, culture and architecture within the context of the North-East, with the aim of connecting art, life and nature. |
