98.6°F is the human’s normal temperature, the balanced state if you will. And while there is an acceptable range, and deviation from the norm, there are clear indicators when you’re experiencing something out of balance internally or as a result of the environment around you. Without a concerted effort, it is easy to be kept out of equilibrium.
In 2019, the social and political landscapes are heating up and shoulders are getting cold. Architects, artists and designers are integral in mediating the swings of society, amplifying and uncovering risks to cultural communities, heritage and environments
Maren led the process and design for this Park(ing) Day installation at Mithūn. It was a pleasure to be involved.
