Cristopher Cichocki’s Epicenter Projects shakes up the conventions of curation through a “nomadic,” new online platform for exhibition. Through curated artistic residencies, Cichocki challenges contemporary artists to create experimental, site-specific works. For its first year, Cichocki will curate seven exhibitions around the uncertain grounds of the San Andreas Fault. Instead of having to visit one of the largest fault zones in the world, however, viewers can experience the art from their browsers.

Cichocki aims to show each artist's work through “photography, video, audio recordings, book publications and/or printed editions." These temporary, “performative” pieces will also be preserved and shared in their respective online exhibition spaces on Epicenter's site. Below, check out earth-quaking new works from Nicolas Shake and Filippo Minelli, the first two artists to appear in the inaugural edition, and stay tuned to Epicenter Projects for upcoming exhibitions from Luis G. Hernandez, John Knuth, Olga Koumoundouros,Robert Seidel, and Melissa Thorne:
