This article grabbed my attention because it incorporates social issues, performance, and a collaboration between not only the artists but the artists and the viewers. The issue of sustainability might not be one that I am connected with directly or have any experience working with in the past, but the way in which the exhibit is put together is something that I hope to work towards in the future. I have been working a great deal with social issues lately, especially the issue of homelessness, and have brainstormed how to create a piece that might be more interactive with the audience and therefore more performance based. I think that using performance is a great way to start dialogue about the purpose of the artworks and keep viewers from just being viewers.

Also after attending the Suggestive Structures opening reception last week, I have begun to see how important collaborating with other artists can be. I normally tend to work alone but in the case of the MSU show, the teamwork of all of these individuals will be extremely beneficial to the show. With the incorporation of social issues into artwork, involving as many people as possible is vital.
