Curators Francesca Bertolotti-Bailey and Lauren Mackler present a screening of In the Name of the Place and panel discussion with some of the founding members of The GALA Committee as the final installation of the project Public Fiction’s The Conscientious Objector. The GALA Committee staged a covert conceptual art-project from 1995-1997 by placing artworks as props on the set of the wildly popular primetime soap opera: Melrose Place. Between 1995–1997, artist Mel Chin gathered artists, students, and faculty from various art institutes nation-wide (the University of Georgia (UGA), Athens, GA, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Los Angeles, CA, and Grand Arts, Kansas City, MO) to form the GALA Committee.
