This project started in 2004, was up until 2007, and is now being re-designed and rebuilt. If you would like to volunteer with welding or installation, or if you would like to suggest a location, please contact me. I create public seating for New York. In the city, the street should be a destination in itself. Many people use the street to get from one place to another, but it is an invaluable arena for immediate interaction. Further, stasis becomes a radical act in spaces designed for other means: shopping or moving. Alternative stasis reorients bodies and thoughts on the street, literally changing the seated pedestrian’s point of view. Using the body itself and objects that incite participation, this project rejects routine, exploring transitional spaces and expanding the potential of overlooked spaces.
