[Taking the Empire's New Clothes To The Laundry was a series of interactive drawings created to comment on the alienation of so-called public spaces. The drawings were of ...] the supermarket (Buy One Now), the department store (Marked Down), the public beach (No Swimming, No Wading, No Fishing), the doctor’s office (Prescription Refillable 2X Only), the Museum Store (Pay What You Wish), the Unemployment Office (Stand Behind the White Line), the parking lot (Do Not Back Up), the subway car (Service Is Delayed), the health club (High Impact), the airport gate waiting room, the college lecture room (Use Number Two Pencil Only), and the real estate agency (Real State). Each drawing included verbal suggestions regarding ways to talk back, participate, organize, and become more socially responsible citizens in relation to these spaces. When exhibited the audience was invited to share their own suggestion about how to interact with these public spaces.
