art + space + audience
Currently studying Criticism & Curatorial Practice at the Ontario College of Art & Design. Research interests include how contemporary factors are changing the processes of historicization; what political/social/technological factors contribute to movement-free "movements"; and what elements in a space have the capacity to make art accessible and engaging to all audiences.

Mark Jenkins
I find that street art, art in public space, and intervention art all have a common theme despite the diversity in their content: sometimes it takes viewers a minute to realize that they are, in fact, an audience, part of the collective experience of curiosity and discovery. Mark Jenkins is a master at exploiting this. He has completely crossed boundaries in terms of how his art can be categorized -- it's street art, art in public space, and intervention art all at the same time.
