Carole Frances Lung: Hired Out
June 12 through October 18, 2009
Outdoor Sculpture Program
Carole Frances Lung is a sculptor, performance artist and activist whose
work investigates social issues related to the production of clothing. As part
of the Michener's Outdoor Sculpture Program, Lung constructed an outdoor
"loom" which mimicked the shape of a prison cell once used to hold inmates here
when the Museum was a prison. Over the course of three weeks, Lung wove
the walls and roof for the structure using articles of donated clothing along
with inmates' uniforms. The artist hopes "This performance/sculpture will draw
attention to the complexities, dynamics and abuses of prison labor." She holds
an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago.
The Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition is sponsored by Fulton Bank.
