The M12 Collective members, artists Richard Saxton and David Wyrick and curator, Kirsten Stoltz, are founding members of an organisation of artists based in Colorado and other 'fly-over' states in the USA. M12 Collective members undertake research projects and create community and site-based art works. Working in the fields of sculpture, architecture, public art and design, they favour projects that are centred in rural areas that can be developed through dialogical and collaborative approaches. Their projects explore community identity and the value of often under-represented rural communities and their surrounding landscapes. M12 affiliates have worked internationally with exhibitions and projects appearing at The Center for Land Use Interpretation, Utah; Biennial of the Americas, Colorado; Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture, University of Tennessee; Center for Contemporary Arts, New Mexico; Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Colorado; Kohler Arts Center, Wisconsin; Contemporary Museum, Maryland; Wall House Foundation, the Netherlands; and Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin.
