I just think her ideas are powerful in their simplicity and candor.
The Art of Conversation (2000) consists of a public installation that happened every tuesday between 12:00 and 16:00. Furniture was arranged at a Montreal street corner and the oncoming public were invited to sit and have a chat, a chat about the political order, childhood memories, domesticity, the notion of choice... whatever came up. I imagine that the hope was that people could engage themselves in honest conversations, free of institutional and spatial barriers. Thus, very concretely, private and public spaces were blurred.
