ART THEORY

Through interdisciplinary approaches, this series explores and connects the changing realities of rural landscapes and communities around the world. Like the network of post offices presented herein, Star Route 1 is itself a precise arrangement of distances. Alongside pin-board messages, crop prices, reconfigured addresses, and a horse named Montana Blizzard, Welcome and Bachman's meditation on the space of the post reads as an incomplete archive of particular histories -- histories tethered to the zip codes of Northeastern Colorado.
