Projects: New Street Agenda, 2005 - present

Using information encountered in the public domain, New Street Agenda will address the contradictory and deceptive approaches utilized in commercial advertising, political campaigning, social commentary, and other formats of literal and image-based description. Since October 2005, a series of works have been produced that use photographs of street communications and imagery made during previous visits to various cities (e.g., St. Petersburg, Russia; Lugano, Switzerland; Nashville, Tennessee). The completed works will then be placed back into the public domain for retrieval and interpretation in cities in Africa, Asia, Europe, North, and South America with a letter and contact information.
