Curating Public Narratives 2018

Course Description

This course will investigate the ways in which artists have presented narratives in the public realm and the organizations that have made the presentation of those works central to their curatorial practices over the last 40 years. Focusing on recent works presented in New York’s public spaces by Creative Time, The Public Art Fund, the Percent for Art Program, Arts for Transit and other non-profits organizations, this course will look at what it meant to tell stories and open discourses that challenged or interrogated widely-held value systems, the events and the politics of their time. In addition to the specifics of current and other key works and projects, we will discuss the conditions that governed the development of public performance, temporary and permanent installations, the ways in which those works were influenced by public approval processes and governmental agencies, media coverage and community response. Each student’s final project will be an on-line proposal for an exhibition that conveys a “narrative“ developed in the context of this course, referencing other relevant works .

SCOTT BOWLBY --- View of the Past

The View of the Past

This project is about trying to bring the past from throughout area of new york city. The plan for this project is displayed through the New York, that will allow people to be able to travel to the past. The target audience is the tourist in the city, new residence’s, and finally, long time residences of the city who were around at the time of the display images have been around.

The prints are going to make from a duratrans film that will allow for the print to be transparent. The print is going to be enclosed with 4 inches of plexiglass on each side to protect the print. There will be a metal frame placed around the print in inside the plexi to preserve the print and extend into the ground to protect the structure from being taken or knock over.

Fuji Duratrans prints

On the bottom right corner of each print,m there will be a QR code which contains information about what is going on in the prints. As well where you could go to get more information.

Example displays

The depart that I would need to contact would be the MTA depart because they are in charge of the roadways and street in new york city and the parks department.

One of the major partnership that would benefit both parties is a partnership with the new york public library. They have a large archive of the prints that have been made throughout the history of the New York City, and a large database of information about the sights.

Some of the major location that I believe could be effective for this project :

The shipbuilding in Union Square.
Military installations in Grand Central.
The pyramid built at the Grand Central tunnel.
Pre-construction Flatiron Plaza.
Chinatown
Time Square
The Highline
St. Patrick Cathedral

Examples
