Mi Casa Su Casa, 2005, by Paul Ramirez Jonas


  After [a lecture about space and how we defined it as locked or unlocked] the public was invited to exchange keys with the artist and each other. The equipment necessary to duplicate keys was available, along with blank keys engraved with a symbol of trust and generosity. Anyone willing to have one of their keys duped onto these custom keys, received someone else’s key in exchange. The lectures took place in schools, corporations, clubs, universities, and a jail.
