Danny Volk explores the nature and nuance of social structures and interpersonal relationships through broadscale, time-based projects and events often documented serially in various media. While referencing and drawing influence from sociological theory and the semiotics of theater and drama, Volk’s work intervenes in the personal lives of others and restructures accepted modes of interaction between social entities. Conversation, dialogue, mediation, humor, and negotiation are factors and forms in the work. Â
