Living with Contemporary Art

"'Living With Contemporary Art' called for artists to make works for 10 Ridgefield residents willing to play patron and, for awhile, to live with the outcome, recording their reactions." "...Its purpose is to demystify contemporary art, assuming that this can be done without bringing down the entire structure. Word-of-mouth indicates, however, that the project is not only succeeding but also that it is shedding light on the artist-patron relationship from an anthropological point of view."

1995, The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (Ridgefield, CT)
