New Monuments Taskforce, 2020
Public Art; Social Practice; Activism
• Location: San Francisco, CA
• Details: Social Practice Art, Curation, Art Direction
• Dimensions: varies
In 2020, I founded New Monuments Taskforce, a conceptual art project guised as a fantastical municipal agency. Through this platform, I convened a group of Bay Area artists, cultural workers and organizers to form a task force, or a brain trust, to create public facing initiatives which create space for the dialogue, design and development of New Monuments in the Bay Area. This work is really an effort to create seats at the proverbial table, create timely points for entry into civic processes and challenge top-down notions of monument making.
Our inaugural initiative was The Relic Report. Though initiatives range from publications to exhibitions to collaborating with local artists/organizations to workshops, including a workshop centered on Augmented Reality in the Public Realm or a Digital Zine spotlighting innovative public art.
