Juan William Chávez expands his project, Living Proposal: Pruitt-Igoe Bee Sanctuary 2010-2012, during the 2012 Kranzberg Exhibition Series, on view in both the indoor and outdoor galleries of Laumeier Sculpture Park. The outdoor exhibition features an outlined footprint of one of the buildings from the infamous Pruitt-Igoe complex created from used telephone poles. Inside Laumeier’s galleries, Chávez presents 17 works, including a lone jar of honey harvested from the Living Proposal site in North St. Louis, bee suits, videos and ephemera documenting this project to date, which explores and highlights creative initiatives to address public issues surrounding the land where the Pruitt-Igoe housing project once stood in St. Louis.
