We chatted with New Yorkers. We were approached by those from outside the USA.
One couple from the Netherlands gave us advice on where to create the next Land Mark — in Amsterdam.

Workbook: Bryant Park Land Mark — DOE Projekts Prepares



DOE Projekts will create a temporary 'Land Mark' for Bryant Park in Manhattan, New York City, on Sunday morning, August 18. The temporary Bryant Park Land Mark is part of the ongoing DOE Projekts' art action called "Workbook."

"Workbook: Bryant Park Land Mark" incorporates keywords and coreforms related to the historic park and the adjacent New York Public Library. Keywords include Knowledge, Movement, Nature and Self. Coreforms include seeds, fountain, book, face, flower, zero and one.

DOE Projekts is a socially-engaged art practice initiated by Deborah Adams Doering (deborahdoering.com). Recent projects include "JUST US AT WORK" (Kassel, Germany) and "What I Want to Say: Coreforms and Keywords" (Chicago, USA).
