Todd Lanier Lester / FARM/SCHOOL (f/s)

FARM/SCHOOL began to take shape in 2020 regarding a farm parcel in Middle Tennessee where I grew up. It takes on–and plays with–both theme and time differently than the 20-year series comprised of freeDimensional, Lanchonete(.)org & Luv ‘til it Hurts, while benefitting from its field of methods and lessons learned.

I am going home to Tennessee over a 10-year period–homecoming/going offering a worthy theme. Presently FARM/SCHOOL is scrawled inside a horseshoe tattoo on my left upper leg and the topic of a body of writing. These seeds may grow to form a physical space, that of an artist residency of the same name … in about 10 years.

FARM/SCHOOL is made with family and friends as well as artists who I’ve worked with before, such as Jakub Szczęsny.
