What We Did

During the early, unsteady months of COVID, KIN imagined a resistance to the white cube—a curated body of Katherine Strause’s heroic paintings, sited outdoors on easels spaces across rolling fields. With the world suffocating indoors, we gave art room to breathe. We commissioned Katherine to create works that held their own across sunlit landscape, then filmed the temporary exhibition as a cinematic storytelling moment that echoed far beyond the physical proximity.

Why It Matters

This was art as encounter, not display. With no crowds and no collectors walking through, the project begged deeper questions: Where does art live when it isn’t about commerce? How does presence shift meaning? KIN turned pandemic constraints into an act of rebellion—unpacking art, building stories, and insisting on beauty born outside conventions.

Collector Focus:

One of the strangest things for artists is working so hard and intimately with work. Then one day it is boxed up, placed in a gallery where they can see it, and then it is sold and largely unseen again. We like to show how our collector’s live with their work. How differently their experiences can be.

Here is a lovely comparison to see two different works from FIELD in their new homes.
