Tom Otterness Transcript
Posted in Tom Otterness with tags Tom Otterness on July 31, 2009 by nycsubwayartWhat’s your name and what do you do?
Tom Otterness sculptor or public artist. As you like.
How did you get into public art?
I first started doing public art through this group, Collaborative Projects. A bunch of us, about 50 artists got together in the late 70’s and tried to bring artwork outside the galleries and onto the street. Jenny Holzer was among them and Kiki Smith, Johnny Hern, a lot of us ended up, later ended up, continuing that idea and working in public. That was the start.
Why did you want to get it out there?
The galleries are for a certain audience you know, an audience that’s got more money in general and has BA’s. It’s a different audience that you’re pitching to. So I think for all of us we wanted to get out and get to an everyday audience. Get out in public.
