I’m not sure if they are meant as satire or as an affectionately observed series that looks for art in the detritus of the city; either way the “Found Art: Unmonumental” posts that appear regularly on Joy Garnett’s blog are turning into a fascinating anthropology of the streets of New York. See the Flickr set for the full collection.
Street show: the things between us

Street Show: The Things Between Us is an exhibition of new work from 22 different artists distributed solely through a USB Dead Drop installed at 540 W. 21st St. (@Eyebeam Center for Art + Technology) in New York City. Dead Drops (started by Aram Bartholl) are USB flash drives installed in public locations (buildings, train stations, museums etc) around the world to create an anonymous offline peer-to-peer file-sharing network. For The Things Between Us each artist was asked to make a piece based on the idea of TRANSFER (whatever that meant to them) that would be unique and only available through the Dead Drop.
Organised by Michael Manning, featuring me an 21 others.
