Living Spaces Gallery Photos

Living Spaces: A Multimedia and Interdisciplinary Program, February 27-May 30, 2003 brought together ten artists from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey to participate in an exhibit of visual, literary and performance art that explored themes related to individual and community spaces, the physical environment, identity, and issues of social justice. The artists responded to a "call for artists" that included a request for a personal statement about their response to the "Living Spaces" concept. In addition to the exhibit, the program sponsored a series of dialogues on the concept. The pictures below highlight the artists' work as exhibited in ICR's Community Gallery.
