Mobius Artist Event: Heather Kapplow Thinks at AIOP

Mobius Member Heather Kapplow is acting as Thinker-in-Residence for the 2024 edition of Art in Odd Places: CARE.

CARE is curated by Patricia Miranda and Christopher Kaczmarek and features 75+ artists' projects intervening along 14th Street, from river to river, in Manhattan between October 18-20, 2024.

”Care is a ripple. From intimate to global, from self-care, care of family and lover, friend and neighbor, town and city, state and country, the global world, care undulates out to our whole island planet and every species upon it. To care is to look after, provide for, to watch over, to grieve, to lament, to cry, to feel concern, to attach importance. Art opens a space of empathy – an invitation to see through the eyes and heart and mind of another. An act of hope and imagination – art can help us dream new ways and new worlds into being. We invite you to imagine together how we can bring care to one another and our fraught and fragile world. AiOP 2024 asks how art can create spaces and actions of compassionate fearless care.”

Art in Odd Places aims to stretch the boundaries of communication in the public realm by presenting artworks in all disciplines outside the confines of traditional public space regulations. AiOP reminds us that public spaces function as the epicenter for diverse social interactions and the unfettered exchange of ideas.
