hey,


I am becoming increasingly interested in the idea of intervening into routine and the mundane things we do everyday. I want to do this in some quiet way that people might notice or might not.


Im thinking this would work best with public transport...and that i want to leave [something] on buses and trains for people to come across and perhaps respond to.

Im struggling to find many artists relating to this concept but there must be looooaaads.

Anyone got any ideas?

Joyce Kozloff
Boys Art # 2 Nagasaki 2003

American artist, Joyce Kozloff 's highly decorative work reminds me of ancient maps, which combined practical geographical information with decoration, and images of mythical Gods and beasts. Yet Kozloffs work is both down to earth and politically charged, dealing with with the subjugation of peoples under the domination of Empire. Drawing inspiration from older civilizations, who's intricate patterns embody profound mythological and spiritual meanings.
