The recording of "Amy Lam in Conversation with HaeAhn Kwon about Bathrooms" is now available on our website and our Youtube channel. Link in Bio. Western-style sitting toilets are designed to hide the movement of bodily waste. This need for concealment extends to outdoor space, where public urination and / or defecation are seen as shameful (even when there’s no other choice). Women-identified people are especially susceptible to reproach and must find shields or screen...s, like a friend holding a coat, or an open car door. In this conversation, artists Amy Lam and HaeAhn Kwon will talk about toilets, the lack thereof, and the relationship between civility and necessity. Lam created Make-Believe Bathroom and Kwon contributed graffiti to it. Kwon’s 2018 exhibition entitled Get Around to How at Erin Stump Projects featured a sculpture called Pissbox (2017). Moderated by Jenn Jackson, curator of Make-Believe Bathroom.
