| It’s a question every New Yorker wonders – how much are my neighbors paying for their apartments? I’ve Lived: Post-it Notes for Neighbors 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 "To Do" installation, this participatory 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 values. I've Lived: Post-it Notes for Neighbors was part of the Windows Brooklyn exhibit that paired artists with storefront windows in Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens June 14-22, 2008. Candy's storefront: vintage furniture shop Yesterday's News at 428 Court Street and 2nd Place (which happens to be right around the corner from where she used to live). They sell classy old-school furniture, maps, and other cool items. Check it out and say hi to owner JP! Installation assistance by Kay Cheng. What were the results? See handsome graphs and outcomes here! Check out my thinking behind the project on the Urban Omnibus! |
