This free downloadable PDF is produced in conjunction with Shannon Finnegan: Lone Proponent of Wall-to-Wall Carpet, curated by Fiona Wright and Heather Anderson.
The exhibition featured suites of text-based portrait drawings, several portable murals, wood furniture and floor cushions. The furniture, cushions and Portable Mural 2 were debuted at CUAG.
In the publication, Wright and Anderson reflect on this compelling and often humorous body of work by the Brooklyn-based Finnegan, which at once calls attention to and destabilizes ableism, while urging institutions to examine their responsibility for providing safe, welcoming and accessible environments for all visitors.
