A Public Installation of Art Objects
Somewhere Around Here is an uncommissioned public art project using temporary attachments such as magnets, where the artist “leaves something behind” at a carefully selected location. The opportunity is to produce art for spaces unmarked by “difference,” where creativity can collide with the hyper-controlled realities of the public sphere. These objects point out the freedom of art outside the usual confines of market exchange and the gallery, and confront these forces with chance human connections characterized by surprise and wonder. The works suggest radical freedom through dissonant human connections and through signals of the decay of capitalism.
