Kathryn Wardenburg Project #3

Krzysztof Wodiczko's: The homeless Vehicle Project (1988).
Wodiczko is an artist most well known for his large scale projections onto public monuments and creating works of art that he calls social actions.
The homeless project by Wodiczko is one of the most well know art projects produced for homelessness. These Homeless vehicles were produced for homeless men and woman all around New York City.

These carts that Wodiczko created were an artfully rendered political statement. These art vehicles provided shelter, safety, and a means of income because the vehicle was designed for collected cans, bottles and other materials. These art vehicles designed by Wodiczko were described by others as "illegal real estate".
Speaking of his project Wodiczko wrote that he wanted to draw away ‘attention from the work of art as dissent to the work of art as social action: in this case, the discussions and design collaboration with members of the homeless community to develop both a physical object and a conceptual design that would make their participation in the urban economy visible and self-directed.’
