This Fake Street Sign is a Public Art Masterpiece
The Creators Project: Once in awhile, a public artwork comes to the aid of public service. A building in Toronto, for instance, is currently a reactive surface visualizing the plight of the homeless. A galloping horse projected from a mobile movie theater is helping expose rural Thailand to cinema. In the case of artist Richard Ankrom, the civil contribution came in the form of Guerrilla Public Service, an art project that saw Ankrom installing fabricated markers onto existing freeway signs without permission. But this was neither a spiked critique á la Luzinterruptus' LED-infused syringes, nor a crowd crystal-type experiment like Sebastian Errazuriz's yawning billboards in Times Square. No, Ankrom's reasoning behind for Guerrilla Public Service is much simpler: "A North panel and 5 shield were fabricated and attached to the existing overhead sign because the information was missing."

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: A spectacular chandelier is as crucial to “The Phantom of the Opera” as the man behind the mask or Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Music of the Night.” So when the touring company now at the Benedum Center was redesigned for the next generation of phanatics, the company went big and with a nod to the original.
Race Matters in Three Off-Broadway Productions
Cultural Weekly: Race matters, as Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor recently wrote. Some thought, with the election of a black president in 2008, all our prejudices would magically disappear and America would become a post-racial utopia. A trio of current Off-Broadway plays painfully and incisively documents the real state of relations between majority and minority groups in our polarized land and the world at large.
