Just completed a blog on a public art project I did a few weeks ago. See it here

Info: An installation was set up in the foyer of ECU School of Art and Design on April 15th 2009 for 24 hours. Participants had the chance to tell the world how they feel about public art. Their opinions were played aloud in real time through a VOIP network. The computer and speakers were housed under a big blue tarp which was unattended, except from 10:30am-12pm, when I sat at the station to receive calls, speak to participants walking by and sign copies of xeroxed posters.

Participants were asked: 
1. How do you feel about public art?
2. How do you feel about being a participant in public art?

Power Shift, March 23-30, 2009

Annie Hogan wrote a nice piece on a collaborative artwork between Wafaa Bilal, Marylin (our School of Art and Design housekeeping professional), me, and herself. 

“As a result of Wafaa Bilal’s visit to ECU, an exhibition ‘Power Shift’ (working title) was installed in the Foyer space at the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University this week. A collaborative work between Marilyn (our wonderful janitor) Wafaa, Adam Jacono (photo grad) and myself explores performance and artmaking,  the performative moment using the ‘mop stroke’ and the mop as art making instrument, and repetitive stroke as body memory art gesture.”
