Artist Talk: Sheryl Oring

Sheryl Oring examines critical social issues through projects that incorporate old and new media to tell stories, examine public opinion and foster open exchange. Using tools typically employed by journalists (the camera, the typewriter, the pen, the interview, and the archive) she builds on experience in her former profession to create installations, performances, artist books and internet-based works. Her book, "Activating Democracy: The ‘I Wish to Say’ Project," will be available for sale at the event.
