Woman at Taco Bell on 14th Street. Man Sleeping on a bench in Madison Square Park, May 30, 2010. He is wearing 3-D Movie Theatre Glasses. Lewis Lapham. Three people out of the current 8,008,278 people of New York City. That’s 8,008,278 people that artist Jason Polan is attempting to draw in his Every Person in New York project.
Polan: “I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable. If you would like to increase the chances of a portrait of YOU appearing on this blog please email me ([email protected]).”
Then attesting to the endearing and absurd impossibility of the project he states, “When the project is completed we will all have a get together.”
