“I use the water and urban waterfront to challenge the ways in which we socially organize space and land ownership.”
Constance Hockaday is a Chilean American artist who grew up on the water in South Texas. She has specialized in creating unusual maritime experiences for more than 15 years, including a boat hotel (Boatel), which the New York Times called “a New York City success story” — connecting over 5000 New Yorkers to their waterfront. Her most recent performance installation, All These Darlings and Now Us, commissioned by Southern Exposure in San Francisco, was described by the New York Times as a powerful “commentary on the forces of technification and gentrification roiling San Francisco.”
