Up There! by Scott Mossman
An immersive scavenger hunt for premiering a suite of ten recently completed works challenging visitors to discover pieces hidden around Lillstreet, September 1-30, 2026.
In his site-specific installation, Mossman has designed an immersive scavenger hunt for the month of September. Premiering a suite of ten recently completed works, he challenges visitors to discover these pieces hidden within the unheralded corners, classrooms, and common areas of the distinctive warehouse space. Mossman’s Post-Minimalist sculptures are rarely hung at eye-level. Rather than engaging one-to-one with the viewer like a traditional painting, they function as spatial punctuation that highlight the overlooked elements of an architectural environment.
Scott Mossman is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist and musician whose 45-year career explores the dynamic relationship between fine art and architectural space. His post-minimalist sculptures and rich, maximalist paintings question the traditional boundaries of two- and three-dimensional art.
