Starting 5th June in Australia

Cracks in the Pavement is an interactive project that calls attention to the ‘in-between’ spaces encountered throughout everyday life. The project focuses on details within the urban landscape and encourages close inspection of our social space. From June 5th artists based in the US, UK and Australia will respond to what they find in their urban environments by making art objects designed to be placed in sites that intrigue them – at bus shelters, in alleys, under bridges, in libraries or post offices, or deep in park bushes.

Members of the public are invited to search for these site-specific works using maps and clues provided at Cracks in the Pavement. Art works featured in Cracks in the Pavement may be kept by whoever finds them. Works not found will be allowed to remain in the landscape indefinitely to be encountered by chance, displaced, or transformed by the very environmental forces that define each piece’s context.
