Tracy Ginsberg is the founder and artistic director of Fulcrum Projects, a multidisciplinary live art company that creates and produces interactive, site-specific installations, performances and exhibitions that explore shifting paradigms in art, culture and consciousness. Founded in San Francisco in 2002, Fulcrum Projects is now headquartered on a thirty-acre project space in Marin County, CA. "As a growing artist, I dreamed of living and working in 'open space' -- land where I could create experimental, environmental, site-specific projects and multi-media group exhibitions." In 2004, Ginsberg and her partner Theodore Lillie acquired a thirty acre hilltop parcel and began renovations. They mapped the land, built trails, transformed the old, existing barn into studio and home, and installed sculptures in the woods and meditative spaces in the trees. Fulcrum Projects’ first production, Homage to the 21 Taras, premiered in San Francisco, 2005. In the past several years, collaborating with artists from musical, dance, film/video, performance and construction backgrounds, Fulcrum Projects has developed a series of shows, live events and installations both in its home space and nationwide.
Ms. Ginsberg graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute, BFA 1996 and the University of Michigan, BA 1993. She is also a curator, designer, past contributor to ReadyMade Magazine and grant recipient. |
