***WEBSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Hi :) I’m Wes Bruce. I run a creative studio called, The Curious Life. The Curious Life is a team of artists, filmmakers, architects, composers, dancers, educators, and storytellers. We work with contemporary art museums, children’s museums, institutions, organizations, communities and natural spaces of all sorts to create immersive art-scapes (artwork+landscape=art-scape) exhibitions, films, and community partnerships that are heart-centered, connective, and vulnerable. Our work is one-off and site-specific, inspired by our deep research and time spent on foot on location.

One of our main goals is that folks walk away with a sense of their fullest self.

Take a tour around the site and see if you connect with anything.

I Ru

I’m a multi-practice artist, blending together elements of story-led architecture, immersive installations, exploratory poetry, community engagement, social practice, earth meditations, and collaborative filmmaking. My projects are open, curious, and deeply researched journeys into our capacity as people to always find a more-whole and expansive version of ourselves, our connection to others, and our grafting of inner and outer worlds. I pay special attention to our threads within the more-than-human world. The exhibitions and installations offer guests the opportunity to become collaborators, to get transported and lost within them, and to tap genuinely and significantly into the sacred ordinary through whole-bodied experiences and emotions. I also have a degree in Art Education, so my projects always thread back to the community through workshops, social work initiatives, digital participation, youth/family/elder programs, and a wide range of methods to offer ownership and opportunities for co-curation with those involved. I work primarily with Contemporary Art Museums, Children’s Museums, Youth Nonprofits, Refugee & Immigrant Nonprofits, Schools, and most recently Libraries. My projects (& life) are intended to be an ongoing, ever-unfolding practice of reciprocity
