Public Projection Space Program

.
A brief review of some public projection-spaces :

We presented this one in our 2009 Christmas Eve offering, Along the Blogian Way. ( here ) It is from the United States, circa 1890s, from a genre known as the Trade Card. It is shown as it was acquired, with no addition or subtraction, no secondary projection.



On October 4 we visted the same scene with a psycho-commercial overlay. Not only that, we were also urged to discover in the abounding environment...
FIND - Cow, Owl, Frog, Parrot, Lizard, Goose., Man Smoking Pipe, Rooster Crowing, General Grant, Romeo and Juliet.
What else might be there, it seems to ask? Everything, seen and unseen?



Here's the same scene again, as part of a Projection-Space Journey set. From the mountains to the sea. It features a text installation series by the late-19th century artist collective P.P. Senour & Co which anticipates, as it were, the readymades of Marcel Duchamp, the readymade paintings of Robert MacPherson and the journeys of Richard Long.
