The Legacy Project Collaborative

The Legacy Project is a long-term artists' collective comprised of Jerry Burchfield, Mark Chamberlain, Jacques Garnier, Rob Johnson, Douglas McCulloh, and Clayton Spada. In 2002, the six artists were granted extraordinary access to the closed Marine Corp Air Station El Toro in Southern California. Since then, they have shaped a project of rare scope and significance. To date, the collective has made more than 150,000 images at the 4,700-acre former military base, an art-historical document on a scale seldom seen. In addition to personal work and large-scale documentation, The Legacy Project has created a number of special projects, including The Great Picture. Work from the project has been shown in more than 35 exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad.
