пресс-релиз:
Montello Foundation is a foundation dedicated to support artists who foster our understanding of nature, its fragility and our need to protect it.
The Montello Foundation now intends to build a waypoint, so artists’ interpretations of nature and our interactions with nature may be the starting point for travelers’ contemplations.
When we travel, it is in our nature to seek points of rest, to reorient ourselves. We want to understand the place we are traversing; but we also want to focus our mind on the original purpose of our journey rather than just on the logistics and technicalities of our transportation. Historically these waypoints were of course often created in a spiritual or religious context, recognizing the need to provide a focus for hope. This waypoint should center around a focus on nature, both the wide vistas as well as delicate details.
The main focus of the Foundation to date has been to provide an artist residency in a remote valley near Montello, NV. This retreat is located on 80 acres of desert land and can only be reached by driving approximately 15 miles on dirt roads. It is also meant to be a solitary retreat, a hermitage, so to reach directly to a wider audience, Montello Foundation has decided to create a presence at a much easier to reach and thus a public location.
