URBAN INTERVENTIONS - APPROPRIATION AND SUBVERSION

Urban interventions often alter our experience of an environment on an unconscious level or in a fashion that is indiscernible or indescribable. The blue cast of a crushed soft drink can bearing illegible branding attached to a brick ledge on Oxford Street, Sydney is one such example. 

Subtle and unassuming, it is positioned shin-high by an automated teller machine on the high street, creating new meanings through the appropriation of a common everyday form and material subversion. As with the majority of urban interventions the artist and their intentions remain anonymous, thus engendering an otherwise banal environment with myriad opportunities for personal experience and interpretation. It poses a question, yet refrains from ever explicitly spelling out what that question is.
