Over and Over: Stick’em Up by Allan Espiritu explores issues of meaning and context by asking viewers to partake in the creation and completion of his work. Participants were given a vinyl sticker and told to place it anywhere. They were then asked to document the location of the “work” with a photograph.
By doing this, the viewer becomes an active participant in the process of artistic creation. The placement of the sticker becomes the genesis of meaning — creating visual and contextual connections between object and place, significance and meaning, temporality and permanence. This zine (Over and Over Zine, Volume 1) documents some of the images received between 2004-2017.
Over and Over Zine, Volume 1 was created by Allan Espiritu as part of the Barnes Foundation’s exhibition Person of the Crowd: The Contemporary Art of Flânerie, on view February 25–May 22, 2017.
