Things we've done before
LIVING ROOM 2017
This immersive installation exposes the living room that is everywhere and nowhere. It's about the convergence of personal and public space and tasking that with the capacity for empathy, togetherness and recognition. LIVING ROOM was first presented in April of 2017, taking over a vacant storefront in downtown Minneapolis, and was made possible by generous donations from the Twin Cities arts community and fiscal sponsorship through Springboard for the Arts.
