This course will investigate the ways in which artists have presented narratives in the public realm and the organizations that have made the presentation of those works central to their curatorial practices over the last 40 years. Focusing on recent works presented in New York’s public spaces by Creative Time, The Public Art Fund, the Percent for Art Program, Arts for Transit and other non-profits organizations, this course will look at what it meant to tell stories and open discourses that challenged or interrogated widely-held value systems, the events and the politics of their time. In addition to the specifics of current and other key works and projects, we will discuss the conditions that governed the development of public performance, temporary and permanent installations, the ways in which those works were influenced by public approval processes and governmental agencies, media coverage and community response. Each student’s final project will be an on-line proposal for an exhibition that conveys a “narrative“ developed in the context of this course, referencing other relevant works .

• I think the parts of the project that has been more successful are the structure and the development of the project. It looks like a project that is ready to be made.
• I think the curators have been very successful in constructing what they have set out as their goal. It is very clear what is that they want to show the diversity of New York and the media that they are using seems a good selection.
This was an incredibly thought out project. I think that as Tony mentioned, it seems ready to roll out into the streets. It was exciting to watch your group present because so much thought had been put into every single detail of the project.
#1 This group did a lot of research about how they can make their project in real life in public place. The audience of this group’s work is everyone in the public space who might interesting about illustration and portraits. Being seen and view is a very interesting thing if this happening in New York City. If the group really make this happing in parks or on the street in the city then it will be a big project. There’s one thing I do feel a little bit disconnect in this project it is the website. I feel if this is a project need audiences contribute outside then there’s a disconnection if people needs to go to the website to see all the documentation. #3 If the group make the online website into a physical book or storyboard that show up the same time during the project is happing then it will be nice. Also if the artists could be some of the Parsons Fine Arts or illustration students then it could be a volunteer project and get permission with their professor without paying them to do then the money of the project could shrink a little bit.
