In October 2009, over sixty artists and performers created public art interventions on 14th Street in New York as part of the Art in Odd Places festival. This catalogue is its record. For several years, this grassroots initiative has presented art and performance to stretch the possibilities of the public realm. AiOP challenges the increasing circumscription of daily public life by finding ways around traditional public space regulations. Inventive and ingenious, its artists find the odd and ordinary spaces that are still open to the imagination. Including maps, tours, sound walks, installations, projections, posters, campaigns, and performances among its projects, this richly photographed catalogue features both established and emerging artists, unafraid to take on the challenge of the street. This volume also includes commentary by AiOP director, Ed Woodham and co-curators, Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam. Of interest to anyone concerned with urban public space and public art interventions.
