Art in Odd Places 2009

It's too bad the site does the festival such a disservice but if you can get deal with that it looks like an interesting group of projects around the city with a focus on 14th Street. Projects include some manhole cover tours, acoustic ecology walks, some what-happened here stuff, and a few this-is-happening-in-an-unexpected-place performances that make you think about your surroundings a bit differently. A few years ago B and I went on a bike tour as part of the Glowlab festival with Bettina Johae, one of the artists with a piece in the Art in Odd Places Festival called The Immediate History of 14th Street. (Use the link to the festival to get to it.) The bike trip was fun as it recreated some of her art documenting the edges of the city. We discovered  amazing fishing shacks on piers as we rode around Hamilton and Howard Beach.
