Ingredients of a subway car at Hudson Yards. I love this station and it is a nice home for animated hands and other objects and villains. .. I like setting up my installation in a porous and transient spaces.. with the station attendants pushing trash cans around it. Too bad my plans for Kings Cross in London din't materialize because I came down with the most unpleasant cold.. and wet. ..

One of the aims of the work is honesty via immediacy, unexpected interaction, friendly confrontation on the street and eliciting the same in people I met. Because I was not protected or tasked by an institution and there was no institutional context to my work - myself, the work and the result were  entirely at the mercy of complete and unbridled honesty. .

I surely relied on everyone being at least a bit nonplussed and curious and to have no time to feel self-conscious or deliberate.

.

And thirdly ( something imagesurgeon correctly noted ) I was a living sounding board placed on one hand between a guy who was shining shoes and on the other a couple of masked guys who were selling bricks (yeah, the real kind). With the understanding that Union Square has always been a place of gathering and dissent.

via imagesurgeon: . The People have the power! ( if they did but realise it?) Iconoclasm is a way of intelligently re establishing that power. . .

During my Memory Replacement – Election Day performance on Union Square.  

Memory Replacement was a success.

This is about giving people weapons - little arrows of brushes and sharpies, and oddly enough people use these weapons to express their feelings of belonging and joy of one another. I want to use these tiny weapons to bring the best in people, a moment of joy with an arrow of paint. Where people from all walks of life put there heads together in a brief moment, a second of color.

Where day traders and day schoolers doodle together on the sidewalk.
