Megan Michalak’s work draws on the tradition of social sculpture as a method of inquiry, engagement, and research. Her work explores the malleability of space as a container for human behavior through creating sculptural conditions for moving, sensing and investigating the environment. Her participatory environments invert the quotidian logic of the everyday to temporarily remap behavioral cues through which we navigate social space. Recent projects have focused on reconsidering models of capitalist exchange through creating farcical systems that demonstrate flaws within the free market scarcity economy.
