In 1957 Eddie Owens Martin (St. EOM) began to build Pasaquan, an elaborate complex of visionary art and architecture outside of Buena Vista, Georgia. St. EOM created a future utopian world called Pasaquan, in which all cultures and ethnic groups come together and connect with the earth and the universe.
Saya Woolfalk’s installation at the Outsider Art Fair is the first in a series of projects in which she engages St EOM’s ideas and work in an attempt to understand the strategies he used to communicate his vision of Pasaquan and a culturally hybridized world.
The artist thanks the Columbus State University Archives Collection, the Pasaquan Preservation Society Inc., and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, for generously lending works from their collections, and to curator Jonathan Fredrick Waltz for introducing her to St. EOM’s visionary practice.
