Bags of donated clothing started filling MK Guth’s apartment soon after the artist announced she needed clothing cast offs. As the opening date approached for her new exhibition, “This Fable is Intended for You: A Work-Energy Principle,” she realized she’d have to take her search for clothing handouts public.
