Signs of art in the city

Alexandra Girard (photo, at right) is a third-year Painting and Drawing student who brings her art to the streets. People who look at these signs “can choose to do what they want,” she says. She puts the signs up for short periods of time, watches for reactions, if any, documents them and then takes the signs down. Two fellow students, Ben Lee and Kaori Furuta, both third-year studio arts majors, helped her put up the signs. The project was done in a Painting and Pop Culture class with David Elliott, chair of the Studio Arts program. It’s part of Concordia Fine Arts’ interaction with the downtown environment.
