PEDESTRIAN
31 Projects Examine the Role of Public Art in
Unexpected 14th Street Locations,
from the East River to the Hudson River during October 2008
During the month of October, the fourth-annual Art in Odd Places will present Pedestrian on 14th Street, Manhattan – the great divider between uptown/downtown and highbrow/lowbrow. From the East River to the Hudson River, thirty-one artists' projects of all mediums will encourage the masses of daily pedestrians to rediscover this corridor of diverse commerce which includes Union Square; a historical site of social and political activism. Provided with a map, New Yorkers are invited to participate in an urban scavenger hunt by locating each of the different unexpected places along this amazing street. Curated by artists/curators George Spencer and Ed Woodham, the artists will present their work in non-traditional "odd places," including the sidewalk, the subway, and tree wells. The wide variety of media of these projects will feature sculpture, performance, conceptual art, and fashion design – all exploring the meaning of 'public'. Maps will be available at businesses on 14th Street including 14th Street Framing Gallery, 225 W 14th Street and Rags-A-Go-Go, 218 W 14th Street. Art in Odd Places
