Jorge Pardo is a master of creating community space. Through his installations, he is able to cultivate cultural exchange and social interaction. “I wanted to try and understand the value of neutrality in gallery spaces - how to set up a scenario like, if you don’t have a white cube for showing art, how do you deal with that? It’s not very different from most art’s final destination… people’s homes.” - Jorge Pardo
It would be great to make some communal furniture and installations for the UG Show.

Sweet Potato Vine grown by sticking sweet potatoes in water propped up with some toothpicks. Super simple and inexpensive, when grown on the balcony, these will be a great way to make the department visible from afar.
