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 - Project





Flashing Lights


My project will consist of the creation of the cube-like structure that I will place in the area of the of the cub I was possibly even thinking of covering the cube.  The cube would have white walls. They can be dull during the day but as the sun starts to go down the light and project on the inside will turn on. I randomly generate time the project will turn on a play some censored content, but during this time it will as turn on UV Sheild which will block camera, as when individual try to take a picture their camera will be blocked to promote the censorship. I believe that with this structure I can make a commentary on the internet as well as censor topic from around the globe to bring attention and the block will repeat it character through the night for people to see. I main issue that I’m going to have will be putting a structure around the screen and projects. The other problem will be dealing with the possibility of traffic with bright lights and the chance of there being a traffic issue based on the light that is going to be shown. Some of the issue that could be raised and global problems that are arising around the world to a local issue like the metoo movement. Content that has been censored by the internet, or the Brazilian election. Or children book that is altered to make a point of the way away from love and passion. I want the sight to be beautiful to the people in the area and the tourist that are going through the city, as this will spread the word of the topic that is being shown. As more people that are seeing the project the better chance of their people that want to look through into the matter that is being presented.
