Description

Suzanne Lacy: Spaces Between explores the work of California-based artist Suzanne Lacy, whose art challenges viewers and participants with personal accounts of traumatic events and multisensory productions that evoke emotional responses. From 1972 to the present, Irish examines Lacy's pivotal roles in public art, feminist theory, and community organizing, revealing how her artistic projects have created spaces for self-discovery, social critique, and human connection. This critical examination investigates the intersections of art and life, body and physical structures, and self and other in Lacy's multifaceted work. Through a close analysis of Lacy's art, Irish shows how she has resisted racism and promoted feminism, while exploring challenging human relationships through her innovative use of performance, installation, and collaboration.
