The Floating Museum is a moving museum created from a transformed food service van. This moving museum will act as a platform to link the periphery with the center and emphasize the mobility of the society in Northern Virginia. Contemporary issues, such as access--in the sense of exclusion and inclusion, and a critique of the role of the art institution as the exclusive delivery platform of art, are emphasized. The focus is to work in parking lots in the suburbs. The reason to work in these spaces is because the parking has become a "nomadic space", as defined by Deleuze:

"So we can consider Nomadic Space, not as a space with intrinsic properties that then determine relations, but as a space with extrinsic properties; the space is produced from the movements that give that space its peculiar quality."

In that context parking lots around the suburbs have become a serialized and active common ground for a diverse population--a landscape for subgroups to meet. The Museum’s goal is to amplify the creativity and uniqueness of communities such as Arlandria, Anacostia, Langley Park, Herndon, Leesburg and other communities.  Through direct collaborative art-making, the project will give creative voice to community-driven issues such as housing, the environment, employment, health and cultural heritage. The Floating Museum will locate in highly visible public settings to maximize participation and public impact. The Floating Museum creates unusual opportunities for community awareness and dialogue. The creative results of bridging communities, addressing contemporary social issues and the development of community arts projects, will be exhibited in September at the American University Museum in DC.
