Urban Spirit Reclamation Leage
Jul. 6th, 2008 03:08 pmTaking suggestions for artworks that you see, briefly, from the corner of your eye in the local settings that remind you that the genus loci are still there. Goal is to have work parties to make them, then take pictures of them for a while while the environment and people modify them. Theme is the spirits of these places around us, which both emerge from the earth and have been brought along with us from other places. Any mythology, ancient, modern, historical, fantastical, will do.
So far:
Silhouette (sp) deermen--cutouts in the bushes along the freeways, with antlers, which when glimpsed are the silhouettes of deer spirits or shaman.
Freeway Earth Spirits--lips, nose, eyes, emerging from the sound barrier walls.
NeonPelli: Kokopelli figure out of EL wire that flashes on and off after headlights sweep over it. Mod 1 is headlight responsiveness, mod 2 is to have the musical instrument change: Flute, saxophone, tubapelli!
Corriboggles: little grasping ovalheaded figures with reflective eyes, made out of cardboard, distributed in an area.

First work party in two weeks. More later.
