"Deep States" by Michael Schonhoff

With a creative practice that includes the roles of director, curator, artist and musician, Michael Schonhoff is co-founder of the artists’ studio initiative Kunstraum KC, and currently serves as the director of KCAI Crossroads Gallery. His Deep States installation for Open Spaces offers wry commentary on the conundrum of a metro area divided between two different states, while directing a critical gaze on how geographic boundaries fundamentally distort the lived reality of collective societies and shared resources.
