The Audacity of Desperation is a public arts project curated and presented by Jessica Lawless and Sarah Ross in May and October 2008. xtine’s Do Something More Amazing will be on display as a poster campaign driving visitors to the website in this free give-away exhibit at Sea and Space from October 23 – November 16.
In the spring, the show began at The Urbana- Champaign Independent Media Center,May 7th – June 15. From the AoD blog, “The Audacity of Desperation is an art exhibition, political action, and on-going dialogue. This show confronts, expresses and unravels states of desperation. Artworks by activists, artists, enthusiasts, and very concerned people, are made in editions of 100 with the intention of free distribution to audiences. In this way, these artworks will be activated outside of the exhibition space and in domestic spaces, on bodies, clothes, bags, and in public spaces.”
