Plop: Recent Projects of the Public Art Fund - its title a reclamation of the term Plop Art, sometimes used to refer to public art that is considered unrelated to its setting - features projects by forty-five internationally acclaimed artists whose installations were made possible by the Public Art Fund, one of the most innovative supporters of contemporary art in America. Presented here are works by Vanessa Beecroft, Rachel Whiteread, Christian Boltanski, Tony Oursler, Roxy Paine, Takashi Murakami, Louise Bourgeois, Dan Graham, Barbara Kruger, Nam June Paik, Juan Mu–oz and Pipilotti Rist, among others. Plop examines the diverse ways in which artists have created a participatory experience of contemporary art in public spaces, and documents the changing city and the evolution of what it means for art to be public.

But, you should because plop art is some of the most exciting, innovative art to be found. The name "plop art," which is sometimes used in a pejorative manner, refers to public art that is not considered to have any relation to its surroundings. In other words, it's "plopped" there. What a wonderful surprise that can be! Have you seen Jeff Koon's huge puppy made ... Read More
