Post-it Notes Public Art by Candy Chang, I’ve Lived, Windows Brooklyn, Carroll Gardens

I’m back from Asia and rolling right into some public art action. I’m proud to be part of Windows Brooklyn, a community exhibit pairing artists with storefront windows in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens neighborhoods June 14-22. My storefront: vintage furniture shop Yesterday’s News at 428 Court Street at 2nd Place (which happens to be right around the corner from where I used to live).

It’s a question every New Yorker wonders – how much is my neighbor paying for their apartment? I’ve Lived is an interactive installation that helps demystify the topic by inviting local residents and other passers-by to share information about their living situation. Inspired by Illegal Art’s Post-it note installation, this project covers a storefront window with Post-it notes stamped with specific fill-in-the-blank forms. Passers-by can fill in a note with their own apartment information and balk at the high and low numbers paid by others. By the end of the week, the window will have transformed into a useful collection of personal notes created by and relevant to the community, as well as serve as a reflection of changing real estate. Local knowledge shared via office staples! Big thanks to Kay Cheng (above) for helping me install it! See more pictures of the project here.

    Um…great project…almost as good as the one done last year by Illegal Art in DUMBO and the East Vilalge. What a shameless rip off, with no credit give to the original. Smooth move.

  2. Fiona Macfarlane Says:

    very cool. I love it.

  3. Candy Says:

    To T Rex - Yikes, I didn’t mean to come off as coming up with the old idea of post-it note murals. I had a link to other post-it note murals on the project page and I’ll make it more clear now.
