Derail Platform For Art Architecture

DeRAIL Platform for Art + Architecture is a non profit, independent arts producer and alternative platform for dialogue and collaboration across disciplinary, geographical, and ideological boundaries. At we foster new conversations about public space design and contemporary city building by bringing a linear landscape to life. We create opportunities for artists/participants to work in a dynamic, linear public place, not just any place. The responses to this place are directly related to the relationships we bring to, develop in, or derive from this particular location. Through an artist’s eye we walk through walls - imagine new possibilities for the way we see the world, a gentle push to be better, to see further, to breathe more deeply, to listen is the vision of designer and public art curator Gelareh Saadapajouh and landscape architect Victoria Taylor. With years of combined experience as designers, artists, exhibition and public art curators, these emerging cultural producers push the definition of public art to produce unique and socially engaged/place-specific programs to explore the shared linear landscapes of our city and to expand the public dialogue around contemporary art, placemaking, landscape and urbanism.
