Curated by James Voorhies with Michele Snyder
A place to call one’s own—-it is the most basic of human needs. This exhibition examines the natural desire for shelter through a selection of artworks and social interventions. They encourage consideration of a range of subjects, including how public space becomes private, the absence of proper housing, the identity formed by where one lives, and the feeling of safety embodied in simple walls and a roof. These works demonstrate how community, government, economics, and politics are interwoven with and sometimes inextricably linked to the dreams and expectations of having a personal place where one can take shelter.
