This project was for our final action project of the You Are Beautiful class. This action project was all about installing your own public art pieces. The art pieces that we had to install was the stickers we had made for our second action project for YAB. The second piece of art we had to install was the collaborative You Are Beautiful bus shelter. This specific project had to do with a lot of documentation because we had to make a movie that included the people you gave the stickers to, the places you put the stickers, the people you gave the stickers to and the YAB bus shelter. The reason it was important to document the piece of art was because a lot of the piece got taken down or changed in some way. I think art changes when it is in the public because it gives people a way to access art without having boundaries. When installing the stickers it went very smooth because each sticker only took about 30 sec. to install and document, but as for the YAB bus shelter it was a little difficult. the reason it was difficult to install the bus shelter was because it was such a big install and it was difficult to get it to the place we were going to put it because we had to roll it there on a cart. Another part that was rather difficult was moving it in thick mushy snow because it would get stuck a lot and since it was cold it was hard to hold onto the cold metal cart. I learned a lot from this project such as how easy it is to make and install your own pieces of public art and also how fun it is in the process over all i love this project out of all the projects I've done so far at GCE. I am not only proud of the work i did, but i am proud of the whole class and how we worked as a team to get this install done. Please watch my video below and see the pieces of art we created. ENJOY!
