Abstract

With the ad hoc artifact of the barricade as a framing motif, I discuss practical, political, and artistic uses of found material by communities living in enclosure. Beginning with the street memorial, I move to briefly describing a number of projects undertaken in my urban high school art classroom and intended for public display, all of which responded to current events and many of which used found materials.

Keywords: socially-engaged art, youth art, barricades, public art, urban education, art education, anti-form, memorials
