Field Office Fellowship // Ben Garthus
Ben Garthus is a Minneapolis based artist that makes work that stretches the boundaries of sculpture to include the unexpected discoveries that are possible when human interaction merges with systems, objects and structures. He recently received his MFA from University of Minnesota in the spring 2011. He was also recently awarded the International Sculpture Centers outstanding Student Achievement Award in which his work was featured in Sculpture magazine and was part of traveling show that began at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey.

The Mobile Creative Outpost
The Mobile Creative Outpost is a nomadic social gathering point that redefines spaces into areas of a creative, self-determined activity. Inspired by the free open-ended play of adventure playgrounds or junk playgrounds, the Creative Outpost doesn’t propose a specific program. Instead, it offers a variety of loose parts, old building materials, tools and open-ended equipment that challenges participants to come up with their own objects, inventions and activities.
