Art in the Loo book release/signing and exhibit of the original pieces, Sunday August 24th 3-5 pm, at Travel Bug and in the Axle truck (in parking lot of Travel Bug). Informal chat about the experience of this year-long clandestine public art project at 4pm.
Art in the Loo was a city-wide, public art project in which 40 small paintings of Yucca plants were installed anonymously in public bathroom stalls all over Santa Fe, NM, for the duration of one year. The proposal was to create a little surprise and aesthetic pleasure in a place that typically is not considered in that way. Give a little lift where it’s needed most.
The paintings also created an invisible network between many diverse places, linked by content (the Yucca plant), and a map of all the locations at ArtInTheLoo.org. Locations included libraries, restaurants, cafes, recreation centers, the Children's Museum, the Farmer's Market, the Audubon Center, Jiffy Lube, Savers, and many more, including Travel Bug! Art in the Loo presented to a wide variety of people, including people who don’t normally go to see art — everybody has to go to the bathroom!
