NYC's cool kids are payphone warriors": "...You and your teammates must dash across the blocks around Washington Square Park in a bid control as many payphones as possible.

Form/Space Atelier Lecture Series With Michael Magrath November 22, 7PM 1907 2nd Avenue Seattle, WA 98101-1101 Contact: Paul Pauper 206-448-2302 Michael Magrath: Temporary Public Art Michael Magrath will speak at Form/Space Atelier November 22, 7PM, sparking a dialogue about temporary public art. Michael Magrath is a sculptor and UW art professor in Seattle, where his temporary salt sculptures, Lot's Tribe, Salt Witnesses were installed in a city park. Magrath will talk on the inception and execution of a large-scale public art installation utilizing an untried media on an impossible schedule with insufficient funds. He will also discuss the potential of temporary, site-specific public art and the special challenges of artistic collaboration with good-hearted and untrained voluntary assistants.. "Temporary art has the advantage of being in time with us," says Magrath," not aloof with pretensions to eternity, but embracing its inescapable decay and degradation, erosion and loss, as we all do. It has the potential for a striking tenderness. In its creation we collaborate with the wind and rain and beating sunlight, sure in its eventual fate, yet no more able to predict it than the weatherman. Lots Tribe is the first in a series of planned installations of this type, trying a vulnerable art against the vagaries of public will."
