Inspired by Allan Kaprow’s words of wisdom: “Life in the museum is like making love in a cemetery,” Robert Sain’s project investigates the opportunity and obligation for arts organizations to be socially responsible and responsive in an age of diminished resources and uncertainty. Titled Love in a Cemetery, up to 100 people in the Los Angeles arts and culture community are invited to respond to 4 questions about the life of cultural organizations. Respondents to the survey will include artists, curators, educators, and art school faculty. Sain will set up visual presences in the main gallery to create a community-wide dialogue about the role, function, and fundamental purpose of LA’s arts organizations. The objective of Love in a Cemetery is to examine an expanded dimension for cultural organizations to take an active approach in civic life.
