"Out of House and Home" features recorded stories and soundscapes reflecting Gruter's year-long process of purging much of her belongings. The works grapple with feelings of resentment, regret, fear, and ultimately, resolve about having released her belongings into the world.
The show was originally presented as an audio tour in the artist's home. Each room correlated with a different audio track. While listening to selections on their individual CD Walkman, guests were invited and encouraged to go through any part of Gruter’s house, including files, cupboards, cabinets, and closets.
