This image of Stockholm subway installation art is one of my favorite examples of the transformative powers of community art projects. I love thinking about the line between interior and exterior, both physically and mentally and how the two often affect one another. I would love to see more urban art installation projects happening around the city because I think contentious and multipurpose design is something that should be valued more in our communities. Imagine if spaces were designed with the intention to enhance community relationships and localized identity! Would you want to spend more time getting to know your neighbors?
In thinking about the idea of interior/exterior, another image came to mind. Below is a link to a short profile of one of my favorite video artists, Janine Antoni. Although the particular piece is not available online you can catch a glimpse of the video as Janine tightrope walks along the horizon where the ocean meets the sky. This image for me is a wonderful metaphor that evokes questions of interior struggles vs. exterior elements but also relates to the line between our physical and mental worlds.
