Molly Wright Steenson wishes she could see Social Capital: Forms of Interaction. The link Molly postsis to Fernanda Viégas' website, I have also included a link to theWhitney belowin related links.
Fernanda is one of the artists participating in this show at the Whitney Museum of American Art Independent StudyProgram Exhibition in New York City on view until June 26, 2004 (The Art Gallery of The Graduate Center The CityUniversity of New York 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street, Tuesday–Saturday 12–6 pm):
This group exhibition brings together contemporary artists who make the complexities of social relations the subject, material, or form of their work. Responding to contemporary societal conditions, some artists consider the influence of new technologies on human connections, while some explore the effects of cultural difference and geo-politics. Others orchestrate situations in which viewers interact directly with the artwork or with one another, forging a community within the space of the gallery. Considered together, the artists in Social Capital present various models of human interaction, encouraging viewers to reflect critically on their own positions within different social networks.
