Project Stillpoint
LAND ART / ART LAB
Project Stillpoint has been conceived as a living site for permanent large-scale works of art, and a dynamic gathering place for people to explore vital themes in a fast-changing world.
It brings together research, conversation, experimentation, and making, in a collaborative setting, where art, nature, perception, experience, and dialogue can interact and unfold freely.
Emerging from the studio practice of artist David Teeple, but reaching far beyond, the project establishes a framework where artists, scientists, and fellow critical thinkers will engage through residencies, guest installations, formal dialogues, and ‘happenings’, contributing to an evolving field of work and community that is shaped by shared inquiry and direct experience.

David Teeple
For decades I have worked across sculpture, installation, photography and works on paper, on a sustained inquiry into perception, material presence, spatial experience, and the unstable relationship between observation and reality. My thinking is shaped by direct engagement with physical and sensory phenomena, natural systems, structure, impermanence, and states of heightened attention, producing works that strive to be rigorous, sensorial, and contemplative.
I have developed my work through an independent, research-based practice. Until now, working outside conventional gallery structures, I have produced an extensive and largely unseen body of work.
Challenge
Humanity is moving through a period of profound transition. Artificial intelligence, evolving global systems, and visible changes within the earth’s biome are reshaping how societies understand knowledge, responsibility, and our relationship with the living world.
Solution
The Project Stillpoint mission is to bring art and nature together as a place for reflection, dialogue, and cultural exchange. Through site-specific installations designed to stimulate both reflection and critical thought, our program of residencies, performances, and dialogue, will offer a place where people can gather to explore meaning in a rapidly changing world, while celebrating human creativity, intelligence, and innovation.

Site Plan, Kiva

Installation for Project Stillpoint
The Kiva will serve as the central gathering place for dialogue, symposia, and other happenings.
Serving as a platform for cultural and intellectual engagement, those working at the edges of imagination and inquiry — artists, scientists, scholars, and others from diverse fields — will collaborate through various programs and events.
These activities will be rooted in the same perceptual disruption that shape the installations, with happenings and programs growing from the dynamic presence of the artworks and environment.
The Stillpoint dialogic program will facilitate cross-disciplinary conversations by integrating verbal exchange, within the installations, while injecting performative practices, deep in a natural setting.
Facilities will include a studio complex for developing, engineering, and fabricating the installations and providing resources for residency artists, as well as other buildings and structures to support ongoing programs and activities.
