 | Our inaugural project was inspired by the celebration surrounding the quincentennial of Columbus' "discovery" of the Americas. While the country planned to commemorate a carefully selected history of Columbus' legacy, REPOhistory created a project that presented alternative views of history.
In keeping with the our general philosophy of making art more accessible to the public, REPOhistory arranged a parade for the opening ceremonies and later did walking tours.
A catalogue of The Lower Manhattan Sign Project is available with an essay by Lucy Lippard.
