Grabner, Michelle (audio)

Artist, critic, curator and educator Michelle Grabner talks about balancing a regional focus with an international interest, and how she successfully integrated family life with her renowned art career.

“I see too much effort being placed on trying to kind of secure one’s location here in Chicago when one can work here and actually leave a more interesting footprint outside of the city.”
