Jim Green
Project Gallery

aims to make public space more personable by introducing an element of humor and surprise. Classically trained in drawing and painting, he has worked with sound as his preferred medium for over 25 years, playfully integrating unexpected recordings into the built environment.

Green brings his usual adolescent mischievousness to his project for MCA DENVER and—in an uncommon approach for the artist—includes a visible, mechanized installation as an essential part of the work.
