The Counterpublic Triennial has unveiled the artist list for its third edition, titled "Coyote Time," scheduled to run from September 12 to December 12 in Saint Louis. Curated by a five-member international team, the exhibition features forty-seven artists and collectives, including prominent figures like Glenn Ligon and Rebecca Belmore alongside local Saint Louis practitioners. The triennial will feature nearly fifty commissions, with a significant focus on site-responsive works installed along the Mississippi riverfront and the Gateway Arch.
This iteration of Counterpublic signals a shift toward a more global and diasporic perspective while maintaining a deep commitment to the specific civic landscape of Saint Louis. By exploring themes of migration, climate change, and emerging technologies, the triennial aims to function as a speculative platform for social change. The inclusion of high-profile international artists alongside community-based collectives reinforces the event's growing reputation as a major node in the North American biennial circuit.
