The Mini Mart City Park is a community-focused, brownfield revitalization project that will transform and re-purpose a former gas station into a pocket park, public sculpture and community center. This multifaceted project is blurring the boundaries between public art, architecture, environmental activism and green design. The site will be transformed both visually and functionally, working with concepts like urban forests and environmental sustainability, re-inscribing them as art into the domain of everyday life. Mini Mart City Park is a vision of what happens when the urban landscape is given back to nature and the community that inhabits it. The structure, while keeping the aesthetic of a corner convenience store, will be converted into not only a truly “green” building, but also a living work of art. This project aims to provide a potential new model for small site brownfield remediation and a multi-purpose public green space available to the community.

Mini Mart City Park debuted Saturday, July 9, 2022 in Seattle, WA.

SuttonBeresCuller

Seattle, WA

SuttonBeresCuller is a group of three Seattle based artists—John Sutton, Ben Beres, and Zac Culler—who have worked collaboratively since 2000. The trio’s work ranges in presentation from gallery works, to installation, performance, and public projects. Working in and outside of traditional gallery settings, they aim to engage and provoke unsuspecting audiences with their works which are often not what they seem. SuttonBeresCuller’s work plays on identity, perception, and instinct. They create playful scenarios by reinterpreting archetypal objects and transforming them in material, space, and place. They have completed several public projects and commissions around the Seattle area and along the west coast. SuttonBeresCuller is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle.
