Thinking Out of the Box–A Public Art Project Involving Utility Boxes ‘09-’10

Utility boxes sit on our street corners all over the city hiding the wires and triggers that make our phones, and lights, and traffic signals work.  Once you start to look for them, you begin to wonder how you ever avoided noticing the often battered and frequently graffitied metal canvases that grace our neighborhood.  The Kingfield Neighborhood Association recognized their untapped potential and is piloting a project in the fall of 2009 to wrap the boxes in photographic images.
