Wendy W. Jacob (born March 27, 1958) is an American artist who works as an urban interventionist. ==Life and work== Wendy Jacob received her bachelor's degree from Williams College in 1980, and her Master of Fine Arts degree from the Art Institute of Chicago. She has created installations and interventions in social spaces since 1989, and has developed a distinct body of sculptural works which investigate the interface between architecture and the bodies of the people and animals who inhabit the built environment. Jacob is also a member of the Chicago-based collaborative Haha, whose work focuses on the exploration of social positions relative to a particular site, and which has produced over two dozen influential projects since the late 1980s.〔''Haha: Everyday Matters'', University of Chicago Press, 2007.〕 One of Jacob's collaborations has been the creation of the ''Squeeze Chair'', inspired by Temple Grandin's hug machine. For several years in the 1990s, Jacob has worked with Grandin in developing furniture that squeezes or 'hugs' users.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Squeeze Chair Project )〕〔"Wendy Jacob and Jin Lee at Chicago Project Room," ''Art in America'', 87.4 (April 1999), page 150.〕 She has worked as an associate professor of visual arts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wendy Jacob」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
