Asian Public Art News
Art and similar interventions in public space. Coverage moves outwards from Singapore through Asia to the rest of the world. Like nothing else, the idea of "public art" exposes the contradiction inherent in our ideas of "the public" and of "art".

  Manhole Mandalas in New York
Some anonymous street artist is creating these manhole mandalas in Manhattan.


I like them because they are:
  • non destructive of public property
  • biodegradable
  • focus attention on the urban landscape
  • remind me of Balinese offerings
Thanks, yet again, to the marvelous Wooster Collective for highlighting this.
