The Urban Interventionist

A series of urban interventions created in public based on three guidelines:

* Each ‘sculpture’ can only be made from objects and discarded materials sourced in public.

* Sculptures should be constructed close to where source materials are found.

* Where possible, each sculpture should be left in-situ.

The sculptures were posted to instagram each day using the account- theurbanintervenionist.

Urban Interventionism is a name sometimes given to a number of different kinds of activist design and art practices, art that typically responds to the social community, locational identity, the built environment, and public places. The goals are often to create new awareness of social issues, and to stimulate community involvement. Such practices have a history that includes certain street artists of the 1960s, such as The Diggers of San Francisco, or the Provos of Amsterdam, among many others. (source: Wikipedia).
