Caroline Picard moderates artists discussing their work from the exhibitions Home: Public or Private? and The Happiness Project.
Artists include: Jennifer Karmin, Kirstin Leenaars, Lise Haller Baggeston, Harold Mendez, Meredith and Anna, Carron Little, Troy Briggs, Rebecca Beachy, and Collective Cleaners
We all know public art but what does it mean for an artist to make art for the public, in public? What is "in public" and who is a "public"? Judith Butler recently questioned Hannah Arendt's "the space of public appearance" stating that we need to ask the purpose of public space, how a public forms, who appears where and when, doing what, and what are the conditions that supports this appearance? This discussion asks what is "the space of public appearance" for an artist and is there a distinction between work made for "the space of public appearance vs. work that is made for the studio and gallery? Who is the public (or plurality) that work is being made for, and how is this public (or plurality) meant to respond?

What happens when our private life becomes public and public space becomes private? Located in a mansion on the north side of Chicago, the exhibition presents multiple artists exploring this question through installations within the rooms of the house. The investigations and activities presented explore the social, cultural, and political ramifications of our shifting conceptions of public and private space.
