Block Party

Organize a block party for a block in another neighborhood, maybe even another state.

Stain Quilt

Collect scraps of fabric that have stains on them. Make a quilt out of those scraps. Embroider a brief description of each stain in the handwriting of the person who donated it. If the material is found, then mark as “anonymous” or “unknown” stain.

Stood Up

With one or more hidden cameras placed within various locations inside a restaurant, film actors pretending to be stood up. Allow them to play it anyway they want as long as the staff doesn’t know what’s really happening… Maybe they keep ordering drinks for several hours and get trashed, maybe they start crying, maybe every time the server comes by they make up excuses as to why their guest isn’t there, etc., etc.

(Any actors–or nonactors, for that matter–out there that are interested? Let me know.)

Cast Bronze Plaques

Design a series of bronze plaques similar to those found at historic sites or used in dedicating buildings and spaces. Have them illustrate things of relative insignificance, such as someone’s web browser history or credit card statement, maybe a chat log or transcript of a conversation, things like that. Have them installed in a park or other public space where they are seemingly separated from their original context.

For a brief period of time in 2003 I had a mint condition Yashica-Mat. I put maybe 36 rolls through it before it was stolen. Until recently, I hadn’t examined many of the images I had taken, primarily in Northern, PA, Lancaster Co., Baltimore, MD, and Ocean City, MD, until recently when I had the negatives scanned. Here is a selection from that series.

The Idea List Website

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:59:15 +0000

Create an online database where any artist, designer, writer, etc. can post what they are thinking. One might want to post in order to solicit help or advice, offer their idea to someone else, or to make themselves sound smart.

Discreet Sculptural Interventions Created on a Regular Basis by my Mother at her Office During Lunch Breaks and Other Periods of Downtime

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:23:42 +0000

I think the title just about says it all. For now I’m just posting some of the images my Mom (Terri J. Pfeiffer) has sent me, and will continue to add more, but am not settled on a particular format to present them aside from this website. I’m sure that we’ll be discussing such things down the road as the archive continues to build.
