Maureen Connor, Professor, Painting In 1999 I established Occupation, a collaborative aimed at examining the social dynamics of the workplace. Our projects include Personnel: An Exploration of the Art Institution as a Workplace, a series of site-specific installations which explore the attitudes, needs and desires of the staff at a host institution. Personnel has been produced for the Glyndor Gallery, Wave Hill, Bronx, NY, 2006, Whyspa Art Institute, Gdansk, Poland, 2004-5, Tapies Foundation, Barcelona, Spain, 2003, Mendel Art Gallery, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, 2002, and the Queens Museum of Art, Corona Park, New York, 2000-1. In addition, I continue to be committed (as I have since the mid seventies) to the exploration of gender and its modes of representation in a variety of forms and media--performance, sculpture in a wide range of materials, and recently, video objects and installations. I have been exhibiting this work since 1980; a sampling includes one person exhibitions at Museo de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires, Argentina,1998; ICA, Philadelphia, and Kunstraum, Munich, 1997; MOMA Video Viewpoints, New York, 1996.
