Social Practice

Nick Soler proposes a social practice art project involving painting an outdoor wall underneath a bridge to showcase everyday artists. The goals are to provide a space for free expression without guidelines where all styles are accepted. Participants would be encouraged to add their artwork over a period of 3 months, which would be documented nightly to track its progression. The hope is this open community project could inspire similar efforts elsewhere to promote artistic expression without barriers.

Artist Notes
-What is your motivation?
My motivation is being able to showcase more everyday artists rather than those handpicked because their art fits the
guidelines to be on buildings
-Who is your audience?
Everyone
-What medium(s) will you use?
Wall underneath the Rensselaer bridge building
-Do any of these words describe your piece: subtle, subversive, divisive, intervention, shock-value, assemble?
Not necessarily, I believe that the word free describes the piece as everyone is allowed to engage. Zero judgement
​-What three words could be used to describe your piece?
Open, fun, experimental
-Will you use existing platforms for disseminating information?
Yes, I would hypothetically be using one of the walls underneath the Rensselaer bridge
-Is there a performance aspect?
Not that I can think of besides painting
Artist Notes continued

-Is there a goal or outcome that you are working towards?


Yes, to be able to showcase all styles of artists and people in the community looking to express themselves through
physical art. Art shouldn’t need approval. Express yourself
-Is this the entire piece or part of a longer work or a reoccurring work?
Originally I believe it would be just that piece, if there was extremely well feedback I would invest in more canvases
-Would you document the piece and if so how would you use that documentation?
I 100% would document the piece. The wall will be free to work on for 3 entire months with a geotag attached to the bottom
wall allowing artists to find it easier. Every night I will go out there with lights and take photos of the walls progress to see
what new pieces were added
-Would this piece be shareable or encouraged to reproduce?
It would be shareable online in the sense that people would be able to search it up in order to see what the final piece
would look like. I think because it is such a fun idea for a small community, I believe shortly after I would begin to see other
small communities taking part by designing a similar project for others to participate in.
Overall Statement

I want to be able to develop a wall in which all artist are accepted. In this day and
age everyone is so fragile and the words they say and things they do and that includes in
the Displayed art isn’t chosen because of its concept rather because it avoids questions
and has no way of offending others. This wall has no boundaries other than the 4
guidelines amongst it. This wall allows artists to display their work without worrying what
other will think.
