Working Groups celebrates The MAC’s permanent installation of books and other materials assembled as part of the OccuLibrary project. The new exhibition contextualizes these materials and reviews some of the accomplishments of the Occupy movement and its offshoots, seeking “empowering info” and inspiration for next steps in both art and “reality.”

​

Reincarnations of the OccuLibrary have taken the forms of, among other things, mobile and “secret” libraries, an exhibition of works by internationally known artists, a reading group that met for two years, and a series of children’s programs. Collaborating artists have included Karen Weiner, Lizzy Wetzel, Greg Metz, Danette Dufilho, Anne Lawrence, Regina Yunker Rudnicki, Oil and Cotton, Frank & Celia Eberle, Sally Glass, Cassandra Emswiler Burd, Andrea Tosten, Michael A. Morris, Carolyn Sortor, and more.
