Urban Curators


BoingBoing Has a post about this group - I thought it worth the re-post as we have a site which is and abuts derelict parts of the city - perhaps these techniques could be imported/adapted for urban analysis - particularisation of the overlooked and underloved...
From their site: The goal of the Urban Curators project is to engage the public in the celebration of the decaying urban environment, recognizing its inherent aesthetic qualities as well as the important role that it plays within our cultural habitat. The project achieves its goal by elevating common, overlooked objects and spaces within the city of Providence, Rhode Island to the level of high art.
