The long-running grassroots public art project Art in Odd Places returns with an edition curated by Furusho von Puttkammer that questions the idea of a return to “normal” after the pandemic with works critiquing U.S. politics and the mythos of the American Dream.

Lawyer-turned-artist Tootsie Warhol will be in character as ex-president Donald Trump to complain about Kehinde Wiley outsourcing the creation of Obama’s official portrait to China, and anonymous British street artist “Blanksy” will appear in a white spandex suit that passersby are invited to spray paint with provided aerosols, while Sara Lynne Lindsay will pay tribute to the victims of the last pandemic, the 1918 Spanish flu, by carrying a billowing white dress in which she’s written their names in wax down 14th Street.
