The Contemporary

Baltimore, MD

Projects.

We commission site-specific and subject-oriented projects that exist in public space and are in collaboration with artists and existing arts and non-arts institutions, organizations, sites, and spaces.

Current.

This rendition of GhostFood is made possible with lead support from the Museums & Society Program at Johns Hopkins University via The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The project was originally commissioned by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation for the multi-site exhibition Marfa Dialogues/NY, with additional support provided by Takasago, NextFab Studios and Whole Foods. Marfa Dialogues/NY is a collaboration between the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Ballroom Marfa and the Public Concern Foundation. GhostFood has also been presented by Gallery Aferro in Newark and by SteamWorkPhilly in Philadelphia. Thank you Holly Gressley, Corrie Van Sice, Monell Chemical Senses Center and Olivia Bransbourg. The Contemporary is funded through the generosity of foundations, government agencies, corporations, and individuals. Major programming support has been provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, Aaron & Lillie Straus Foundation, and the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, creator of the Baker Artist Awards. The museum also gratefully acknowledges an ongoing partnership with the Baltimore School for the Arts. The official graphic designer of The Contemporary is The Office of Kristian Bjørnard (OOKB), and the hotel sponsor is Brookshire Suites.
