Deborah Aschheim and Center for Civic Engagement PLACE Project

Deborah Aschheim creates large scale immersive installations, sculptures, drawings, and public art projects based on invisible worlds of memory, communication, and information. Her work attempts to reconcile the physical structures of the built environment with the human experiences that buildings and cities contain and support. This exhibition features a survey of Aschheim’s most recent projects including a public art project examining issues of housing instability she has developed in collaboration with COC’s Center for Civic Engagement’s PLACE Project (Partnerships for Listening and Action by Communities and Educators), the City of Santa Clarita, and Bridge to Home (BTH), Santa Clarita Valley’s Homeless Shelter unhoused people in our community.

Aschheim received a B.A. in Anthropology from Brown University and a M.F.A from the University of Washington. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
