International Human Rights Art Festival Workshop: Intimate Commissions Catherine Mueller and the Institute for Collaboration and Play

About This Workshop

INTIMATE COMMISSIONS at the Human Rights Art Festival, led by Catherine Mueller

Isn’t it fun to receive a gift? They say giving is just as good as receiving. What might happen if we thought of our art-making as gift-making? What if we thought of our gift-making as dialogue? If we curated our making processes such that art could be made for another, ANY other, via a few simple steps? IC is radicalizing the art making and sharing process by doing just that. Come experience these simple steps and see what might be possible for you. IC is an ongoing dialogic art project, developed and facilitated by Catherine Mueller + John Borstel.
