CCA Wattis Institutefor Contemporary Arts



Participating artists in order of appearance: Tauba Auerbach, Kris Martin, Dirk Stewen, Kirsten Pieroth, Colter Jacobsen, Jordan Wolfson, Kristen Morgin, Peter Coffin, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Claire Fontaine, Mario Garcia Torres, Aurélien Froment

Launched in September 2007, the exhibition 
Passengers aimed to overcome the often-restrictive programming schedule of a typical art institution by implementing a format that was constantly transforming and self-perpetuating. At the beginning of every month, one of the artists from the group portion of the show would move into the central "cube" space to present a solo show, and then at the end of the month he or she would leave the exhibition completely and a brand-new artist would enter the group show, thus constantly repopulating the display.
