Fulcrum is a recurring series of durational art events that uses an intentional synthesis of performance media to coalesce a diverse selection of artistic practices into unique, unified environments. If we think of media as an extension of human capability, Fulcrum can be viewed as a way to organize and balance media into systems with syncretic and holistic structures.

By working with artists across a wide range of disciplines, Fulcrum is able to cultivate cooperative, symbiotic relationships between artists whose practices might not typically overlap. Individual pieces of sound art, dance, sculpture, video, or kinetics all contain their own specific experiential context. The goal of Fulcrum is to take these seemingly disparate elements and craft them into a singular temporal experience.

The public experience of Fulcrum is intended as a nurturing environment that can bring various St. Louis art communities together. Engaging with Fulcrum is like a warm bath that washes away the territoriality of the art world while clearing a path to foster a true communal experience that connects us to our fellow human.
