NEW YORK.- The Tile Project, Destination: The World, sponsored by UNESCO, will culminate in 22 new public art works installed from Berlin to Chicago, Sarajevo to Seoul, and many points in between, one of which is Mercer Park. Each of these new public art works will include tiles made and donated by over 100 international artists— even artists from countries that are otherwise in conflict with one another. These works will demonstrate that artists are able to unite the world in ways that are respectful, tolerant and understanding of the global communities’ differences and commonalities.

As a group, the artists of TransCultural Exchange have exhibited their work at many international galleries, museums, and other venues, including Palais Tokyo, Paris; London Biennale; Trans Hudson Gallery, NYC; PS122 Gallery, NYC; The Chicago Cultural Center; radio:on:studio, Tokyo; Ichon Art Center, Seoul; the Bar of the Museum of Modern Art, Berlin; and Inner Mongolian Museum of Fine Arts, Huhhot. Diversified in their media, the group has created a compelling assemblage of tiles, running the gamut from traditional ceramics to glass, photography and digital imagery.
