give it away

I was reading about this project on Wooster last week and thought it was pretty original.

From the Papergirl website:

Papergirl is an art project…Papergirl is distributed like a newspaper, but not edited or printed like it. It consists of art pieces which are rolled up together. Contributions are handed in by mail or personally and are later included in the art rolls…Each roll contains 10-15 different works, meaning that each one holds a unique combination of works.”

The “art rolls” are then distributed spontaneously to people on the street by bicycle. The Papergirl Project is taking public art to a new level in a world where sometimes it seems like everything is bought & sold.
