  "account": "St. Louis residents gathered in the city's various neighborhoods, connecting with public art installations that breathed new life into underutilized spaces. Inspired by the moment in a video game when a character performs a mid-air leap, the Counterpublic Triennial's latest edition, Coyote Time, showcased the region's artistic talent and ambition. Founded in 2015, the exhibition has grown exponentially, attracting notable artists such as Glenn Ligon, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Nick Cave, alongside regional talents like Rachel Youn, Anika Todd, and Jamie Lee Harris. The three-month event, organized into five major hubs, featured major artists alongside internationally acclaimed curators, including Stefanie Hessler, Raphael Fonseca, and Wanda Nanibush. Despite the sweltering heat, visitors from near and far flocked to the city's parks, community gardens, vacant lots, and even an abandoned factory, drawn to the revitalized urban spaces. The exhibition's influence was evident as diverse crowds mingled, transcending social and economic boundaries.",
  "summary": "The sweeping third iteration of this exhibition of public art is well-suited for a city both frozen in time and ripe for a wildly revitalized future.",
