The written word as art installation seems to be the M.O. of writer, Jillian Ciaccia and her projects sound very interesting. She sent me this yesterday:
Thought I’d drop a
note regarding a topic that may be of interest to OTBKB. I’m a native
Brooklynite and short fiction writer that just finished up doing the Bklyn
Book Festival on September 14th. During that time I met a reader who saw
and complimented several of the art installations I’ve been doing around the
streets of New York. I haven’t been quite vocal about the
project myself, but it seems to be gaining notice–first with a
feature on UrbanMolecule.com here: http://urbanmolecule.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/who-is-the-fictionist/ and
now at the festival.
Essentially I insert
my short stories into the surrounding urban environment: a construction site,
guard rail, park bench etc.. If you’d like to take a look, feel free: http://www.flickr.com/photos/18664840@N03/sets/72157607067183943/with a behind the

Very cool installation piece. Awesome juxtaposition of art and language.
