Stephanie Diamond is a social practice artist who has worked within museum, community, school, non-profit, and gallery settings for the past fifteen years, where she has explored community as an artistic form. Her work ensures that humans take care of themselves as individuals within a public.

When I approached this piece for AFC I decided in advance to photograph how booths were set up and to look at the environment as opposed to the art. When I arrived all that changed. I ended up photographing some art as well as people I bumped into, and had some really funny interactions. Best of all, I bought a piece of art. (See: huge sharpie).
In 2011, I was asked to make an installation for Scope, Home Away from Home. In it, I sold the objects, services, and pleasantries that often go missing while away from home. I wanted to make a piece that encouraged self-care. When it was finally presented at Scope, I felt like it was underutilized: I realized that many people aren’t looking for a space to slow down when they go to art fairs. But, they are often looking for a place to connect. This piece documents my experience of that at the fair.
