Elective Acts (2004)
Elective Acts was a 3-day curated exhibition by Sherrie Medina and Jo Novelli. It opened on Election night with live coverage of the polls results. There was a roundtable discussion between the artists and curators of the show with the public and a closing reception on the First Friday of November. The exhibition was located in an historic warehouse at 605 E. Grant St. in downtown Phoenix.

Elective Acts emerged from a conversation about the importance of getting out to vote, the significance of choosing to participate in the electoral process, and the privilege of having that choice. This exhibition asks participants to think more carefully about their daily elective enactments, how they might be influenced by what they see around them, what they hear on television, which books they read and whose company they keep.
