    a personal artistic statement
    about incarceration...

  • write about their installation in the Book of Fame - on site and open for everyone to read.

  • Other visitors are invited to write comments about any installations in the Book of Fame.

After creating an installation, visitors discuss their work with the audience. The ensuing discussions and exchanges are fascinating.

Visitors explain why they have chosen to place an object in a given place, what they are trying to convey, how they feel about the prison bed, what role they themselves play within the installation and how the work affects them personally.
