Magnetic New York





Preparation is under way for a series of exhibitions this summer/autumn in London and New York. Click on the 'New York Catalogue' to see the artwork.






I'm taking 100 tweets from New Yorkers and turning them into magnets. Then exhibiting them in the urban environment and public spaces. Like this classic from Nick Hempton (left).






First I'll be trialing some in Newsagents here in South West London - see the London Catalogue (right).



In September I'll be exhibiting them in the trees of Walthamstow, London - http://www.artgrowsontrees.co.uk/



and....



Then for the big one in New York as part of the Art In Odd Places Festival - http://www.artinoddplaces.org/






If you'd like any more info contact me at albanlow@hotmail.com

100 Alban magnets in New York




The small art project where I exhibit classic tweets is on hold for a few weeks.




I'm busy preparing for a new adventure. I've been selected to exhibit 100 of these tweets on the streets of New York. Using tweets from New Yorker's themselves, like @joealtermans classic 'Treadmill Farter'.




The exhibition is Art In Odd Places and runs from 1-10 October 2011. I dont know how long i'll be there for but will post here as as i can.




If you're a New Yorker and you'd like me to include one of your tweets then find me at @albanart .




Cheers, Alban
