The creator of Now Be Here, she is an internationally exhibiting artist born in Chicago, living/working in Los Angeles. Her work explores the junctures of architecture and the social landscape. Using multimedia site-specific projects that often include public input, the artist prompts the viewer to empathize with different perspectives. Through interruption and shifting perspectives, Schoenstadt creates complex works that reference specific public buildings while simultaneously repositioning histories in new ways. The Exercise in Perspective Series (shown) asks the viewer to become part of the work by adding their point of view in the form of strings extending from a wall drawing. Through that action, one is prompted to physically and emotionally recognize how their perspective interacts with that of others.
