Flux Projects supports artists in creating innovative temporary public art throughout Atlanta.

Presents "Mike's Drive"

By Brett Osborn and Michael Brown

Through February 28
Inside Lenox Square Mall
(Just north of Starbucks)

"Osborn Brown" define their work as Situationalism, or recontextualizing the mundane in order to value the real.  In our hyper real reality where everything has been elevated to the point of being "art" (Reality TV is an example) they focus upon calling attention to this false elevation of mundane events.  In "Mike's Drive" imagery of Mike and Brett driving around the neighborhood is projected onto the windows of a red jeep.  There are no crashes or police chases, no accidents--nothing that would make this event extraordinary.

About Flux Projects:

Flux Projects supports artists in creating innovative temporary public art throughout Atlanta.  The organization produces new platforms for artistic experimentation that engage a broad audience in their daily lives, beyond the walls of traditional arts venues.  We challenge artists to make exceptional, surprising work that inspires Atlanta and fosters an awareness of the richness and diversity of the city's creative culture.
