Cracks in the Pavement: Gifts in the Urban Landscape 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. Internationally-based artists are responding to what they find in their own urban environments by making art objects designed to be placed in sites that intrigue them—at bus shelters, in alleys, under bridges, in libraries and post offices, near abandoned buildings or in trees above our heads. Members of the public were invited to search for these site-specific works using maps, clues and instructions provided at http://www.cracksinthepavement.com. Art works featured in Cracks in the Pavement may be kept by whomever finds them.
