Annie Heckman and I co-curated The Synesthetic Plan of Chicago, an art installation that was commissioned by the City of Chicago. 30+ artists and a few organizations contributed to SPC, which was exhibited at the Chicago Cultural Center May-October 2009. Several SPC modules also "migrated" to several venues across Chicago, such as Myopic Books, Hyde Park Art Center & Faie Art Gallery.
In spring 2009 I designed and built Putting Layers on the Onion, an audience-interactive, papier-mâché poetry sculpture that was part of SPC. The onion transformed over a year -- as people added "layers" to it at the Chicago Cultural Center and later at Bethesda Home.
