In Loo is an exhibition of collaborative efforts that subverts the gallery context and explores the ideas of reconsidering our everyday interactions with how we view "art". Artists were invited to apply aesthetic interventions both subtle and overt to specific loos, restrooms on the third floor of Design Studios on Broad at the Columbus College of Art and Design. In Loo inspects topics revolving around the cultural and historical make up and language of the loo, spaces taken for granted, private to public realms, sanitation aesthetics, labor relations, gender roles, and so on. We ate and drank and talked art in the loos.
