Some Other Places We've Missed: Windows From Prison

Mark Strandquist (Richmond, VA) is an artist, educator, and community organizer. His projects facilitate interactions that incorporate viewers as direct participants and offer alternative models for the creative, social, and political ways in which we engage with each other, those in power, and the built and natural environments around us. Each interactive installation functions not as a culmination but as a starting point for dialogue, exchange, and community action. While photography is often used, the visual aesthetics and technical mastery of the medium become secondary to both the social process through which the images are created and the social interactions that each exhibition produces.
