Modern is a former member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study and an ACLS Frederick Burkhardt fellow at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies.
Libby Modern is the founder of Modern Art, an experimental storefront studio in Lancaster, PA. Her projects range from spontaneous interventions on the block (like a to-do list exchange, voting practice, a neighborhood art swap) to large scale installations (like a hotel for your phone, an art peep show, a giant ampersand ) with a bunch of communications strategies for social and environmental causes thrown in. All use elements of surprise, curiosity, empathy, humor and art to encourage neighbors, both near and far, to experience affective ties with one another and participate in the process, and the aesthetics, of community building.
