Public Art Opportunities by Ty Ødin

December 15th, 2010 8:10 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create public art opportunities.

Prompted by my most vehemently hated enemy, Pixie, I decided to task at a massive corporate dinner party.

KBR is one of the largest government contractors in America and my mother is under their employ in risk management and insurance co-ordination. That mouthful of governmental jargon allows me to attend fancy dinner parties for all of the employees, from the mail room clerk to the CEO of the massive globe-spanning company. How could I pass on the opportunity to create a public art forum for the potentially rich and theoretically powerful? I had to work with what I had on hand, namely a pen and several small bits of hotel paper, and also do something low-key enough to save my dear, sweet mother from embarrassment, so I settled on creating a doodle mural.

I began by laying the cards down, sketching out "SF0", and then jumbling them up. I then approached people at various times throughout the evening and asked them to participate in a little art project to benefit "The University of Aesthematics' Houston Branch". Most agreed and were interested in the project, but few wanted their pictures taken.

I ended up spending a great deal of time talking with a Russian immigrant around my age who was attending U of H downtown for an art degree, and spent even more time in line to see the fortune tellers in order to obtain their mystic sketches. The results were mixed, and I'm sure there's some kind of great psychological statement to be made from them, but I certainly can't figure it out if there is one. The pictures that made it to my phone are, as always, below for your enjoyment.

One thing i like about your tasking is that it's original.
This was low key yet beautiful. Some people don't like everyday life because it's not as big or flashy, but i think this task shows the value of it.

It's a pitty i hate your guts so much!

Hugs and Hatred

Good idea, and I like the low-key tasking in an unusual environment.
