When I first heard about this project at the end of last week I knew I had to track it down and it was well worth the effort.

Created Sebastian Errazuriz and set in Santiago, Chile, back in 2006 Memorial of a Concentration Camp was a week long installation at Chile’s national stadium where dictator Pinochet in 1973 imprisoned thousands of political prisoners who were tortured and killed. After planting the 10 meter high magnolia tree, the stadium doors were open to the public as a park – offering a space to stop, look again, and remember.

After the week long project an “impossible, cathartic soccer match” was played infront of a crowd of 20,000 people.

great slideshow and article here

jeff moerchen's zephyr project (Xerox)....

jeff moerchen is an exciting documentarian, a lover of life, and a great friend and collaborator. jeff's photos are also totally taser factory, and are step-ladder of motivation for my own recent interest in trying to click good and print.

he recently did a xerox installation of his Zephyr collection on this corner in greenwich village.

public art...what isn't...

i've been better about carrying a camera with me when i go out. that is good, due to the amount of stuff outside. like this. oh street art...

a ripped out parking sign, which someone spraypainted, scraped, covered in sequins and wire, and threw in a street .a crosswalk sign that someone taped off to make this classic gesture. this was right in front of the office where i had an interview today.

awesome scarred up pin board at a local pub.
fucked up phone.

free flyer project

an oldie but goodie... free flyer project! this is one of my favorites from the first round of flyers back in the day. i'm redoing a few and making some new ones to hang up soon. the best part of the project is receiving the replies. fun and easy public art is the best.
