The Jeffrey Boone Gallery presents Rina Liddle’s We Are Watching, a multicomponent, participatory work that deals with ideas of private/public space, surveillance and public art.
The project features dual indoor/outdoor projections of participant supplied video footage from Olympic related events as well as the publication of a commemorative and documentary catalogue with essays by Kristina Lee Podesva and Danna Vajda.
