I am more and more confused about what counts as "productive." This print is of a drawing that took me 8 hours to make, so it represents a full day of hard work. At the same time, repeatedly drawing a shape feels like a total waste of time.

- Finnegan Shannon

2017-2018 Wassaic Project Exhibition Artist and previous Wassaic Project Artist in Residence, multidisciplinary artist Finnegan Shannon creates interventions that prioritize accessibility. Emily Watlington writes in Art in America, "the artist doesn’t just point out the absences and assumptions normalized in museums, they also dream up solutions. Rather than institutional critique, you might call it institutional repair."
