Mark Strandquist (BFA ’13) is showing in the 106th Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art: “Carceral States” at The Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College.
The smallest work is a series of 4×6 photos, from Virginia Commonwealth University graduate Mark Strandquist’s “Windows from Prison Project,” for which he asked prison inmates the same question: If you could have a window in your cell, what place from your past would it look out to? Then he and a team of photographers went out, made those pictures, and sent them to the inmates — who could only have 4×6 photos, hence the size.
Since the project began in 2012, it has grown into a national postcard-exchange program, interactive exhibits and a high school curriculum that connected incarcerated teens and high school students.
