Project / Project 2025
Saturday, August 9th for 90 minutes starting at Sundown
Farm Projects is pleased to present PROJECT/PROJECT. This pop-up event features approximately 15 site-specific projections by artists from across New England and beyond that will transform twilight for 90 minutes on Saturday, August 09.
Participating artists include: Cole Barash, Sarah Bird,Cole Cook, Antonia Da Silva, Sarah Dineen, Joanne Dugan Elizabeth Giamatti, Megan Hinton, Ludovic Moulin, John O’Connor, MiYoung Sohn, Gin Stone, Arvid Tomayko, Wyona Gene Thompson, May Tveit, Jon Verney, and Luanne E. Witkowski
All participating artists are encouraged to experiment and improvise to find innovative ways to deepen the ideas and themes central to their individual practices by engaging with local landscapes and architectural features.Projections will be sited across Wellfleet around Main, Commercial, and Holbrook Streets, and at Farm Projects.
Starting at sundown (7:48pm), visitors are invited to walk, bike, or cruise the 0.9-mile stretch between the sites. Maps are available at Farm Projects, and a reception will be hosted there as well.“There have been some incredible projection projects during the first three iterations of this event, and the participating artists are only getting more creative and ambitious. I am excited to see how their projects transform familiar places this year and invite the public to see this community and landscape in a new way,” said organizer Susie Nielsen, who is the director and curator at the Wellfleet Gallery, Farm Projects. “My hope is that this project will help position Wellfleet as a key destination for experimental contemporary art on Cape Cod.”
01. John O’Connor
Title: Power as a Magnet
Location: Farm Projects
These pieces explore the dynamic between powerful, intangible forces and their impact on the individual—myself. Both sunspots and political figures, though abstracted, hold undeniable power, affecting individuals in myriad ways, psychologically and physically. The manipulation of identity within these works mirrors a form of puppetry, where control is ambiguous and fluid, leaving it impossible to discern which force—internal or external—is truly in control.

02. Megan Hinton
Title: Moon Drop
Location: A Nice Cream Shop
During Project Project the full moon will rise while we turn on our projectors to cast art and light around the town of Wellfleet. Moon Drop is a digital projection on the façade of a quaint building at 326 Main Street. I compiled a photographic slide show of paintings I have made over the years. In conjunction I drew minimal interpretations of the moon: its shimmer on the water, a bird flying about, or clouds that interact with its spherical structure. The drawings are a base design to trace and cut out a template to filter the projector’s lens. The result is a cut-out smaller “drop” projection of the moon’s form onto the building. The work is an intervention on public architectural space as the slide show projects onto the building. Its surface affects the image’s texture and color to further transform the image. This series of projected montages expand possibilities for the moon’s appearance in flowing color variations. Chroma shifts are held by a simple cut out form that accentuate full moon associations of heightened emotion, clarity, and culmination.
About the artist:
Megan Hinton is a painter known for reconfiguring genres of landscape, figurative, and object painting. Her art utilizes painting’s historic content and technique with found and discarded material to investigate line, color, shape, surface, and scale. This fusion of content and material further defines Hinton as a collagist and sculptor with interdisciplinary practices in installation, photography, and printmaking. In 2024 Provincetown Art Association and Museum honored Hinton with the prestigious annual Award for Artistic Excellence. Megan holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary arts from Mills College where she won the Hung Lui Painting Prize. She has received residency fellowships from Twenty Summers in Provincetown and The Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium. She is a recipient of the Alice C. Cole ‘42 Merit Grant from Wellesley College. Megan is also an art educator, curator, and writer.
03. Sarah Dineen
Title: Protection Projection
Location: Back of Preservation Hall
Sarah Dineen's Protection Projection features a body of work that engages with the visual and conceptual language of shields, armor, and keyholes. This series, composed of large-scale paintings selected from a broader investigation that includes sculpture, reflects on the psychological and societal constructs of protection.
The paintings are intentionally limited in color, predominantly rendered in black, a chromatic choice that toggles between presence and absence. Black here becomes a space of density and depth and absorption, serving as a surface for contemplation. This restriction of palette reinforces the solemnity and gravity of the shield as a visual form, emphasizing its role not as an ornamental object but as a symbolic barrier.
Central to each image is the recurring motif of the keyhole. This emblem operates on multiple registers: it is a literal aperture, a suggestion of access, and a metaphor for introspection. As a formal element, the keyhole disrupts the solidity of the shield, creating a point of entry—or at least, a suggestion of one—into something hidden, guarded, or unknown. The viewer is placed in a position of both observer and seeker, compelled to confront their own relationship to what is concealed or protected, both within the work and within themselves
04. Joanne Dugan
Title: Roadmaps
Location: Side of Preservation Hall
My ongoing work is a physical and emotional response to light,and the outer Cape is a frequent muse. It is said that abstract art ultimately refers back to nature. Before beginning any new project, I use photography and video as a starting point to collect impressions that ground me more deeply to my surroundings. These short works are pulled from my personal visual journals, many originating in the Peaked Hill dunes and the Wellfleet ponds. I consider them sacred visual roadmaps that allow me to watch the predictable, representational nature of photography suddenly turn itself inward and transform in front of my eyes.
About the artist:
Joanne Dugan is a New York City-based photographer and visual artist who explores the infinite nature of light as it intersects with photography, painting and sculpture. She is a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow in Photography. Working with traditional analog photographic materials, her work focuses on photographic process as physical and three-dimensional and on seeing as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her work was recently acquired by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for their permanent collections and has been widely published and exhibited both in the United States and abroad, including the UK, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and Japan. She is on the faculty of the International Center of Photography in New York City and teaches throughout the United States, including the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.
05. Ludovic Moulin
Title: Pattern Recognition
Location: Side of Preservation Hall
This projection began with a simple observation: abstract patterns are everywhere, hiding in plain sight. Training my eye to find them, I explore how overlapping light and transparencies transform familiar visual rhythms into unexpected juxtapositions. Each layer builds on the next, creating new relationships of both seeing and feeling. This projection is a space for sharing. “Parce que voir, c’est aussi accepter ce qui échappe à la clarté”
About the artist:
Ludovic Moulin is a visual artist based in New York City. His current practice explores the synergies between digital and hand-made art forms and the myriad effects of new technologies on creative expression.
06. May Tveit
Title: LIFE and belonging
Location: 348 Main Street
MAY TVEIT will be showing belonging (2011, 2017) and LIFE (2010)three works selected from her Product Placement series.The artist sees these happenings as sculpture activating public space. Performed and shot on location in the Province Lands, Provincetown, Massachusetts, Venice, Italy, and Virginia Beach, Tveit collaborates with place and people along with a jumbo latex balloon printed with text.
About the artist:
May Tveit is an artist taking the materials of commerce and industry and using them to build abstractions. Her large scale and formally succinct sculptural work and installations are impactful, relevant and memorable. Found in traditional art venues or in nontraditional settings her installations may exist for a few hours, days, or longer. She typically employs readymade products and architectural structures to investigate systems of order, desire, and use. Her current sculpture and works on paper explore geometric configurations of cardboard boxes and physical/metaphysical aspects of the self and being.
Her work has been featured in Art in America, Art Papers, National Public Radio, Bad at Sports, among other periodicals. Tveit is a Charlotte Street Foundation Fellow and has participated in the Anderson Ranch, Haystack, Art Omi, Frans Masereel Centrum, residency programs.

She has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design, the Kansas City Art Institute, and currently the University of Kansas.
07. Gin Stone
Title: Vision from Thalassa
Location: Wellfleet Pier
“I will inhale smoke and exhale butterflies”- from a dream
As an interdisciplinary artist, I work in fiber, painting, pen and ink, hand and machine sewing and mixed media constructions/installations that bear the weight of environmental activism and animal advocacy. I have also used photography to document the work of environmentalists. My current interest is focused on the concepts of the bardo experience occurring in the animal world, what animism means and what that means to the humans that cause death either directly or indirectly.
My materials have included salvaged ghost gear (a hazardous form of marine debris that endangers the oceanic environment from the surface tension at the top of tumultuous waves to the darkest pressures on the sea floor), recycled and antique textiles and furs (both being grotesque and beautiful in their own ways), and found/collected/border-line-hoarded objects.
By appreciating the fleeting beauty of what is, it imparts one with the angst and ennui of a knowledge of its faulty adaptability in a roiling sea of man-made change.
A major influence in life and art of mine is Joe Frank, the radio monologue artist, for his ability to weave worlds in spoken word and hypnotize his listeners with his dirty honey voice. I often imagine him narrating the scenes of my work.
About the artist:
Gin Stone (b. 1971, New York) is an American interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of environmental activism and animal advocacy. Her practice spans fiber, painting, pen and ink, sewing, photography, and mixed media constructions that explore themes of animism, sentience, and the bardo—the transitional space between life and death, particularly in the non-human world.
Stone often incorporates salvaged materials such as marine ghost gear, antique textiles, discarded furs, and found objects, imbuing her works with both beauty and discomfort. Through her tactile, process-driven approach, she investigates the tension between fleeting natural beauty and the enduring harm of man-made ecological damage.
08. Sarah Bird
Title: The Duration of Shadows
Location: Wellfleet Town Hall
My work explores ethical human-arboreal relationships through sustained engagement with coast redwood and other tree communities. Working as an artist-researcher, I create works that challenge conventional representations of trees and invite new ways of being in relation with more-than-human worlds. Central to my work is an investigation of temporality which allows for thinking through ideas of life, death, and bounded selfhood.
Through site-specific works like the public art projection Being/Tree, (2024), I explore how the monumental scale of these beings—the world's tallest trees—can foster what I call "an ecology of scale," emphasizing embodied, relational experience over extractive observation. I center listening and attunement as methodologies, privileging place-based creation that respects both human and more-than-human communities.
This work emerges from a conviction that the ecological crisis demands collectively imagined solutions and new frameworks for understanding tree-being beyond taxonomic or economic categorizations.
The Duration of Shadows is a video projection that traces the movement of tree shadows across time, revealing the different temporal scales at which trees and humans experience duration. Through this layered visual experience, the work makes visible the quiet persistence of arboreal time as it intersects with the rhythms of daily life.
About the artist:
Sarah Bird (she/her) is a multimedia artist-researcher and Ph.D. candidate in Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz, focusing on ethical arboreal-human relationality. A Fellow of the UCSC Climate Action Lab and 2024 Visiting Artist-Scholar at Justus Liebig University, (Giessen, Germany), Bird created a public art event in San Francisco titled Being/Tree in which the true-scale form of a California coast redwood tree was projected in light on San Francisco’s Ferry Building in 2024.Trees/Place an installation at Justus Liebig University, which thinks through place as method, is currently on view. Other recent work includes Earth-Sun Attunement at AADK/Centro Negra in Blanca, Spain. Bird's work was featured at the 2017 Venice Biennale and is the subject of the feature documentary Giants Rising (2024). She is based in Mill Valley, CA, and Wellfleet, MA.
09. MiYoung Sohn
Title: 115 Days: Lyrical Construction
Location: AMZehnder Gallery
MiYoung Sohn transforms everyday materials to translate her observations to create a new interpretation of her daily experience. Her sculptural works, installations, and collages are often process-driven and labor-intensive. “Daily Collage Series” started in response to living on the tip of Cape Cod year-round, navigating solitude and isolation. For over a year, MiYoung worked intuitively, using commonly accessible materials such as paper, paint and glue to make collages daily as a reminder and as a goal to continue her daily practice. “115 Days: Lyrical Construction” is a video of 115 collages from the “Daily Collage Series” arranged to create another visual experience.
About the artist:
Born in Busan, South Korea, MiYoung Sohn came to the United States alone as a child and spent her youth in foster homes in Northern Virginia. She holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale School of Art. Her sculptural works, installations, and collages have been exhibited widely, including at Galerie LarocheJoncas, Montreal; PAAM, Provincetown; The Schoolhouse Gallery, Provincetown; Transmitter Gallery, Brooklyn; The Bronx Museum, Bronx; and MoMA PS1, Queens. She is the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships including the 2024 Gottlieb Foundation Individual Support Grant, Mass Cultural Council Grant, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Fellowship and Fine Arts Work Center Fellowships. Sohn currently lives and works on the Outer Cape where she creates community interactive art projects, teaches workshops, curates exhibitions, and maintains her studio practice.
10. Jon Verney
Title: Sunspot
Location: Verizon Building
Shot with a camera with a damaged sensor, Sunspot is a visual field recording of summer heat. Glitched-out visuals trace an atmospheric road-trip through the New England landscape, wildfire haze, and the pursuit of cooling off.
About the artist:
Jon Verney is a visual artist based in North Adams, Massachusetts. His creative practice blends painting and photography, and explores themes of material phenomena and transcendence.
11. Cole Barah
Title: Ambedo
Location: Uncle Tim’s Bridge
Cole Barash (b. 1987) is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose practice spans analog, digital and archival photography, sculpture, and film. His portraiture and still-life works are distinguished by an organic, spontaneous intimacy, capturing moments of quiet, yet profound, connection. Barash's artistic inquiry revolves around the interplay of color and composition between objects or temporal occurrences, often culminating in the creation of books or immersive installations. Drawing from a childhood immersed in natural landscapes, his work remains deeply influenced by nature—not only as a physical presence but as a dynamic force that shapes both form and perception. Barash’s work has been exhibited globally, and his books are held in prominent public collections, including the Franklin Furnace Archive and the MoMA Manhattan Artists’ Books Collection. His photography has garnered widespread recognition, appearing in esteemed publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and Vogue, among others.
12. Elizabeth Giamatti
Title: The Sum of Its Parts: HouseFlowersOceanBird
Location: Sailor
This film is created from several layers of moving images. As the layers/images intersect and interact with one another—and also with the space in which they are projected—I like to think that they create a world beyond the one I was able to imagine when I was looking only at its individual components.
About the artist:
Elizabeth Giamatti is a filmmaker and visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY and Wellfleet, MA. She has worked in film and theater for over 40 years and has a visual art practice that includes short experimental films and photography. As a producer, films include Pretty Bird (Sundance 2008), Cold Souls (Sundance 2009) and All Is Bright (Tribeca 2013). The hybrid feature she produced and co-directed with Alex Sichel, A Woman Like Me, premiered at SXSW in 2015, where it won a special jury prize for direction. The film was also nominated for the Independent Spirit Award’s Stranger than Fiction prize. Giamatti is currently working on several projects, including a series of short films about interrelated characters. The first film in that series, When We Were Old, played at various film festivals in 2024 and the second, Wrecking Party, premiered at Cinequest in February, 2025 and has screened at Treefort, Dallas International Film Festival, Greenpoint Film Festival and Flickers in Rhode Island. This is her fourth project with Project/Project. Giamatti had a solo show at farmprojects called Film/Still in 2023.
13. Wyona Gene Thompson and Arvid Tomayko
Title: In the Shadow of the Gull
Location: Drift
In the Shadow of the Gull, part meditation, part fever dream, immerses audiences in a projected visual environment—part performance, part installation, part slow-moving catastrophe. The story ripples through layered shadows, fabric forms, and ambient soundscapes, accompanied by live spoken-word poetry generated through a machine-fed Shakespearean filter.
Through sculptural choreography, fragmented light, and drifting language, the piece builds a world where seagulls become monarchs, and crabs become exiles in their own sandy lands.
It’s about examining how we react to looming structures—whether they’re birds, bosses, or bureaucracies. The gull is metaphor, menace, and majestic mess all in one.The work is a kind of poetic glitch: phrases half-recognized, meanings unmoored, and a perfectly chaotic backdrop for telling a very mundane story with epic stakes.
About the artists:
Inner Workings Theater is the collaborative practice of Wyona Gene Tourmaline and Arvid Tomayko. Known for their blend of the absurd and the deeply felt, their work incorporates performance, sculpture, sound, and digital media to explore the strange ecologies of contemporary life. Past performances include A River to the Sky and LOVE BODY BODY BODY, acclaimed for their immersive, reflective, and delightfully weird interdisciplinary theatrical worlds that invite audiences into spaces of transformation, embodiment, and collective imagination.
14. Luanne E. Witkowski
Title: STRATA
Location: Such a Much
Patterns trace our behavior and mark time.
Natural events and human actions build and erode the landscape we inhabit.
Volcanic eruptions scarred the earth becoming islands of rich dark soil.
Centuries are marked layer upon layer in sediment and water etched cliffs and dunes.
Accidental moments, fossilized in stone and wood, repeat stories from a shared past
While individual footfalls imprint the sand only to be erased by a wave.
In the projection, STRATA, the floor piece by the same name, (documented here,) a video projection on plywood traces the volcanic landscape, the wood patterns, and the topography of the earth. Witkowski layers and retraces the strata, giving dimension and definition to a landscape that continuously shifts and morphs.
Witkowski’s panel explores the interrelationship of repeated abstract patterns, while the projected video looks at the dynamics between people and place, reflecting on time and the cyclical nature and power of all relationships.
About the artist:
Luanne E Witkowski is an artist working in a wide range of media and reflective social practice. Expanding her studio practice, Luanne creates environmental and site-specific installations incorporating fabricated and natural materials and locations. Her video documentations and projections/installations are observations of the natural world and humanity guided by her own experiences in nature and urban settings. Luanne’s pieces reflect her curiosity and interest in the ephemeral vs the eternal. Her works are in collections throughout the United States and abroad. She has been a member of the Kingston Gallery in Boston and is affiliated with various galleries in Boston, Provincetown, Wellfleet, and Gloucester, MA. Her organization affiliations include the United South End Artists, Mission Hill Artist Collective, and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. Witkowski is a recipient of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Lifetime Achievement in Art & Commerce Commendation, UMB Faculty Award, and Wellfleet Boathouse AIR.

She teaches Creative Thinking in the Critical & Creative Thinking (CCT) graduate program at the University of Massachusetts-Boston.
15. Cole Cook
Title: Sand Patterns
Location: AMZehnder Gallery
Cole Cook is a sculptor living and working in Truro on Cape Cod. A process-forward artist who uses his observations of the landscape to inform all his work; sculpting local wood gives Cole an opportunity to be in deeper connection both to himself, through the physicality and devotion required by the work, and to the trees - which he believes are some of the world’s greatest teachers.
Interested in natural patterns and rhythms, Cole has long been fascinated by the play of sand and sea – especially the carved patterns left in the sand by the receding tide. Growing up spending summers on the Cape, Cole went from running across these patterns as a boy, to observing them as an artist. By attempting to emulate these patterns, Cole hopes to more intimately participate in the rhythms of the land and sea on Cape Cod.
About the artist:
Raised in Los Angeles, Cole spent summers coming to the Cape before moving to Truro in 2022; he finds the Outer Cape to be a place of calm, inspiration, and safety. A former professional baseball player, Cole began working with wood during the pandemic, and the movement from athletics to artistry has been a natural one. Cole’s wood primarily focuses on the recurrence of natural patterns in the landscape and throughout forms and figures. Cole’s work can be found at AMZehnder Gallery in Wellfleet, BBLG Gallery on Long Island, as well as in the permanent collection at the Cape Cod Museum of Art.
16. Antonia Dasilva
Title: Dancing to the Sea
Location: Parking lot across from Preservation Hall
This short animation is part of a story, the kind that asks to be handed down over many years. The kind imbued with myth, legend, superstition, and hope. The kind that responds to a
terrifying situation with something seemingly absurd.
…and they danced with artichokes in the face of the rising seas.
About the artist:
Antonia DaSilva is a mixed media artist, writer, and illustrator. She loves to tell stories through word and image. DaSilva holds a BA in Studio Art from Smith College. She lives, works, and grows things in Truro, MA.
Thank you! To all the participants and…
Such a Much, Wellfleet Preservation Hall, Emack and Bolios, AMZehnder Gallery, Sailor, Drift, SickDay, Wellfleet Town Hall, Nickerson Funeral Home, the Town of Wellfleet and everyone who came by.
