Merzwalk08: The Sublime Beauty of the World’s Litter

The Merzwalk08 Exhibition will be held in Humbodt Park in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The show starts March 3, 2009. Found objects and art made from the litter of four continents will be installed in the park as part of a guerilla-style positive littering campaign to be conducted on March 3. Over thirty artists will have work in the show. This astounding and delightful exhibition of the Trash of the World will be on display in one of the most beautiful urban public parks in North America.

This show is not to be missed!

The individual works will be free to take home by all persons who desire to own a piece of the world’s garbage.

The installation and start of the show will be photographed and a handsome catalog will be published. The catalog will be free to all participating artists and limited editions available to all others.

Watch your mail for the announcement.

Merznetwork09-h23 : Art Networking Project

Instructions: Go for a walk in your neighborhood. During your walk, find a location or an object that makes you feel connected to the rest of the world. Affix the Merznetwork09-h23 photosicker to the location or object. Take a photo, make a drawing, use text or otherwise document the merz-placement. You can even use a found object near where the sticker was placed as a document. In any case, put your merz-object in an envelope, or, if you'd like, affix it to a postcard. Note the location by the nearest street address, or the latitude and longitude, or by using a description based on your own personal geography. Send your documentation to:

Merznetwork09-h23

All items received will be scanned and displayed on the Merznetwork09 Google map. A catalogue will be produced, with a copy of the map, images of the merz-objects, and an essay about the project. The catalogue will be distributed free to all participants.

Deadline: January 3, 2o10
