(de)Appropriation Project Archive
Bruce Tomb’s (de)Appropriation Project Archive, which will officially launch on January 11, 2008, is a web-based and public art project. The website www.deappropriationproject.net, focuses on 10 years of photographic documentation of the former Valencia Street police station, and the now prominently visible Valencia Street ‘art wall’ located between 23rd and 24th Streets. Tomb, an architect, furniture designer, artist, and owner of the Valencia Street building condones the wheat pasting and graffiti, though is insistent the wall belongs to those who use it, not him. Tomb’s documentation of the wall has been archived, dated, meta-tagged, and sorted into a navigable web-based interface allowing the user to layer images of the wall from different years on top of one another. All four artists will participate in a discussion of their artwork on Friday, January 11th at 6:30 pm with an opening reception to follow from 7 - 9 pm. These exhibitions will be on view from Friday, January 11, through Saturday, February 23, 2008.
