Sabina Ott
The Happiness Project @ 23 Madison Street Nov. 10 - Dec. 4. 2011
Created and curated by Tricia Van Eck, The Happiness Project is a series of events and exhibitions addressing the notion and search for happiness. See- http://timeoutchicago.com/arts-culture/art-design/15014017/tricia-van-eck-curates-the-happiness-project.


My contribution is "seat of sensation (where) hope is the thing with feathers", a site specific installation that is a relaxation station complete with a meditative video, faux fur covered floor and furry bean bag chairs, mirrors, a bowl of goldfish and digital ink jet prints of clouds in a blue sky.

Other projects include Jason Lazarus's video booth for people to record and survey their thoughts on happiness; Amber Ginsburg and Lia Rousett will provide 50 tap shoes for the public; Adelheid Mers is mapping out connections between aesthetics, pleasure, and the brain; and Experimental Sound Studio with Olivia Block and Joseph Mills will create "Laughter and Tears,” a surround-sound installation at Millennium Park’s on November 4 and 5, 2011.

Other artists in individual spaces are Gwenyth Anderson, Justin Cabrillos, Derek Chan, Noé Cuellar, Meg Duguid, Dora Garcia, Theaster Gates, Carsten Holler, Kirsten Leenaars, Lou Mallozzi, Jennifer Mills, Sabina Ott, John Preus, Jan Tichy, Natasha Wheat, and Artur Zmijewski, among others.
Work With Me
Work With Me

Organized by Jennifer Murray

August 11- September 17, 2011
Public Reception and Art Walk: September 8th, 5-8 pm

Collaboration is a process where two or more people or groups work together to realize a shared goal. More than the intersection of ideas, true collaboration is a deep, collective investigation of a common endeavor. Work With Me highlights the collaborative process through a representation of strategies, methodologies or discursive practices.

Participating artists include Laura Davis and Paul Hopkin; Compassionate Action Enterprises; Whitney Huber and Delmore Lazar; Industry of the Ordinary; Sabina Ott and Alison Rhoades; Petra Probstner, Miklos Simon, and Gyorgy Orban; Evan Ward, Glenn Wexler, and Mary Martin; Jim Zimpel and essayist Ames Hawkins.
