Artist: Unemployed is open until January 10, 2010 at LivingRoom Gallery
1530 West Superior Street, Chicago, IL 60642

Making art is expensive, but it can be cheaper than therapy. In Artist: Unemployed interdisciplinary artist Shawnee Barton uses humor, humility, and her art practice to cope with being unemployed during the worst economic downturn our country has seen in sixty years.

In this installation at LivingRoom Gallery, the artist addresses subjects related to her inability to get a job including daytime television, arts policy, and her ongoing existential crisis.
