In a Public Space

By Stacy in Art, Blogs & Internet on Dec 30, 2008 at 6:39 pm

In a Public Space is a website/collaborative art project where people are invited to leave strange objects in random public spaces (this bullhorn to the left was deposited in a library). Then people write in with a picture of their object and the location they left it. I think it’s pretty interesting – you know you’ve found things before and wondered, “How did that get there?” Next time that happens, I’ll wonder not only how it got there, but if it was part of a collaborative art project.

    I wedged cooked pepperoni between napkins in a napkin dispenser at a pizza parlor when I was a teenager. Does that count as art?

    Remember the piano in the forest?

    Art? Don’t think so.

    Well, too bad I don’t Facebook. I’d love to read the “discussion” of this project.

    I left the salt shaker cap loose. Does that count?

    It’s a dumb idea, since the pictures don’t actually show the item in situ. Well, that’s only partly why it’s a dumb idea.

    How is this no simple littering?
