From site to community                                              Keanu Beausier

 

Questions 

How does the community's response affect the use of the art in the site-specific space? 

If intended to target issues involving people who live in the area what would the general message be and should it be generally uplifting or thought provoking? 

Was is it also part of full circle's mission to announce to the world the unity of these Women and if so how did it affect their lives living in those communities?

Were there any women who were uncomfortable with this project?

Where is the divide in the audience's reaction between, "site-specific" and "Culture in action" other than size?

Thoughts 

Using products with a strong political message can provoke thought and ways to think differently about a community 

Rather then showcasing art in areas that are interesting because of the community definitely requires less involvement then making art that is about and for the community.  

Using art in areas that struggle with poverty and possibly violence (certain areas of Chicago)) provide a very provocative outlet for self -expression 

If the art were ever to criticize the people in power it must be careful, artistic messages seem to be the most hated upon if reinterpreted incorrectly who cause a widespread crowd mentality about the offensiveness of another's art

What you aim to get across, using tactful and sometimes confusing ways of making art can easily become misread by anyone, and it would be a good idea to constantly reevaluate and narrow down what your idea is.
