"&lt;p style=\"text-align:start\"&gt;Christopher Robbins works on the uneasy cusp of public art and international development, creating sculptural interventions in the daily lives of strangers. He uses heavy material demands and a carefully twisted work-process to craft awkwardly intimate social collaborations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=\"text-align:start\"&gt;\u00A0&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=\"text-align:start\"&gt;He &lt;a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/crobbins/sets/72157618491699819/\"&gt;built his own hut&lt;/a&gt; out of mud and sticks and lived in it while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Benin, West Africa, spoke at a United Nations conference about his cross-cultural digital arts and education work in the South Pacific, and has lived and worked in London, Tokyo, West Africa, the Fiji Islands, and former Yugoslavia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=\"text-align:start\"&gt;He has exhibited at the Venice Biennial of Architecture, ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art, New Museum Festival of Ideas, Trade School at the Whitney Museum, the National Museum of Wales, Nikolaj Kunsthallen/Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, and been awarded residencies or fellowships from Skowhegan, MacDowell Colony, Haystack, Penland and Anderson Ranch, among others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=\"text-align:start\"&gt;The Ghana ThinkTank, which he co-founded in 2006, was awarded a Creative Capital Grant in 2013.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
