A hands-on workshop that shows how anyone can design and implement small-scale, site-and-community-specific arts activities.Artist and placemaker Jim Walker of
Big Car Collaborative will demonstrate ways that simple art activities and inexpensive materials can connect people with each other; encourage creativity; make public spaces more comfortable, personal and social; and make community engagement more enjoyable. Beginning with a review of instructions and activities throughout art history (from dada to Surrealism to Fluxus to New Games to
Learning to Love You More), participants will then try out these instruction-based artworks and devise their own. Some of Walker's projects like these — utilized for activating public places — were featured in this
Curbed article.
