Public Space Camp

I created Public Space Camp as part of my 2019 residency at Compound Yellow. I co-curated Public Space Camp with Laura Shaeffer.

The Sign Game Workshop with Aaron Walker.

The Sign Game Workshop was an informal public sign writing and fabrication session, in which easily deploy-able signs were created over the course of an afternoon. Upon completion, participants were encouraged to install their signage in the public space of their choosing.

Public Space Camp was an exhibition and series of talks, workshops, and performances held at Compound Yellow, and in public spaces throughout Oak Park, IL.

Drawing Session, with Dylan Cale Jones.

In Drawing Session, participants were invited to observe and draw a police surveillance camera in Oak Park, IL.

Public Space Camp was designed to engage members of the public in creatively defining, determining, imagining, observing, representing and using public spaces.
