Post three- Melissa Malia

The one artist in the book the interventionist is Krzysztof Wodiczko. He is internationally renowned large-scale slide and video projections. My favorite project that Wodiczko has done was the cart that was to help the homeless. It was part of the exhibition This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s. The homeless community has a lot of people that cannot find jobs and homes. Wodiczko tried to help them out with the sleeping carts. In the exhibition, they stated that it stood fully in the middle of the room, the “sleeping mode”, it surrounded by sketches of early prototypes. I think that this project was very meaningful for him to do because it was showing awareness to the fact that we don’t have seen every day. The sleeping carts are to keep the homeless that warm when it’s very cold.

Another artist that I found very interesting is Ha-ha.  Ha-ha is a group of artist that came out in 1988 that addressed the gap between the artist and the audience. Ha-ha is a group made up of artist that have made them up in fourteen years are Richard House, Wendy Jacob, Laurie Palmer, and finally John Ploof. It has over twenty to thirty people that was helped by Ha-ha to make the exhibition Flood. Flood was a built in hydroponic garden that was in a storefront on the north of Chicago. The garden of Flood, grew vegetables (such as kale, collards, mustard greens, swiss chard) and therapeutic herbs for people who have HIV. The storefront has been closed since 1995. This project helped the people who had a disease that could be life threatening.

Another group that I found very was the god of bless Graffiti. This collation was found in 2000 in Chicago to combat the growing nation.  In 2004, the god of bless graffiti had a project where Morgan Puett produced an installation of art work that portrayed the Mass Moca. It was a reference to the textile that Puett brought to the world. I think showing awareness to the world of a text out of art work is very well.  They placed these art works on so many abandoned chimes, and buildings. This group has so many arts on the walls that they put there because they want to have the people know what they go through.

Artist have ways of putting art out there. Some put their cultures in to their work, others work on their art as a peaceful place to get away from the world. Each artist has their own way of doing their art. A young man who only knows of the streets of his hometown, finds abandoned buildings and does graffiti on them. That one person that drives through and sees the art can make it go world-wide.
