public art is a tough one. and something i thought a lot about sophomore year when i found myself mixing concrete and calling it site-specific for a semester. (one place after another is an awesome book on the topic.) how do you take a piece of art out of the studio and into the world? do people want it? will it get in the way? (titled arc anyone?) but this project, "dispatch work," brings forward the best of the being organic, and working with what is already there. throwing someone off their everyday routine with something that makes you stop and smile. unobtrusive, unpretentious. i'm jealous that jan vormann had the creative genius to come up with something so simple and poetic, and the ability to implement it across the world, in places as different from one another as tel aviv and toulouse.
