Brian Jobe is currently installing Tuft vs. Turf (Fire Escape) at Mixed Greens. It will be completely installed by May 8th. So if you're walking down West 26th Street and notice a fire escape overtaken by an alien, fluorescent yellow surface...
Some info on the work: Jobe's Tuft vs. Turf series uses industrial zip ties to cover surface elements of preexisting objects. His Minimalist approach to mark-making utilizes these brightly covered, mass-produced ties in a repetitive, controlled, and obssesive manner. Thousands of tightly queued plastic ties emphasize otherwise overlooked structures, such as a log of rotting timber, a roadside marker, or even an iron cattle guard (and in this case, our fire escape).
