Audience as Subject, Part 1: Medium January 28, 2011

'Audience as Subject' is a two-part exhibition that reverses the role of the audience from that of spectator to subject, exposing the dramatic mechanisms underlying public gatherings of people. By focusing the viewer's attention on the characteristics and behaviors of individuals in a group environment - body language, facial expressions, attitudes, gestures and actions - the artists challenge our perceptions about participation in civic life. They reveal what we collectively become when we gather together to participate in a common experience and and investigate the effect this process has on our individuality.
