THE ODYSSEY

Three oversized pigeons ogle a can of Campbell’s soup. Puzzled by the mysterious container, the birds seem
oblivious to its contents or the means to access it. In reference to Pop Art and to the commodities often replicated
by Andy Warhol, this work recalls the sometimes-elitist nature of contemporary art. Much like the monolith in the film
2001: A Space Odyssey, the tin can is like a door to another world (the art world).

WHY PUBLIC ART?

Public art isn’t just decoration, it’s a powerful tool for connection, creativity, and community-building in every city.
