OTIS KRIEGEL FROM ILLEGAL ART IN MEXICO

Talk with Otis Kriegel | Illegal Art

< Arte Abierto > invites you an Otis Kriegel talk, co-founder of the Illegal Art collective.

See you this Saturday, October 12th, 2019 at 12:00 pm in the Galería Arte Abierto located on the 2nd floor of Artz Pedregal.

His book Suggestion (August 2005), was published by Chronicle Books.

Otis Kriegel’s public art, photography and video/film projects have been featured in such media outlets as National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered,” New York Magazine, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Public Art Review and The New York Times. His work has been exhibited, commissioned and published in catalogs throughout the Americas and Europe

In 2013 he was a resident artist at the SXSW Festival.

Otis uses his knowledge of participatory-based public art and communication to create campaigns, public events to encourage participation, and slogans for a number of different companies and organizations.

Illegal Art is founded by Otis Kriegel and Michael McDevitt.

The objective of this group is to create participatory public art to inspire self-reflection, thought and human connection. Each piece is presented or distributed in a method in which participation is simple and encouraged. Their projects have been installed throughout the United States, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

During the months of September, October and November for the first time Otis Kriegel and Michael McDevitt, founders of Illegal Art, present their projects in Mexico City:

• The Last Word

• Suggestion Box

• What Color Are You?

• Measure Up (An installation commissioned by < Arte Abierto >)

The four public art pieces will be inside the premises of Artz Pedregal. Each one seeks the public’s participation as an experience with a creative-collective effect.
