VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY TODAY // Help Wheat Paste Portraits For Occupy.Inside.Out
Want to help the Occupy Wall Street cause and be part of an awesome art project at the same time? Brooklyn-based photographer Steven Greaves is looking for volunteers to help put up wheat paste portraits as part of his project Occupy.Inside.Out, which features 99 photos of everyday people and one representing the 1%.
The project has been getting a boost from the folks at TED.com. "They have been instrumental in providing logistical support and outreach to my team for getting this thing put together," says Greaves. The studio of photographer and TED Prize winner JR, has also been lending a hand by printing out the images. JR's team includes 3rd Ward alum Gina Pollack, who has been working on the broader global portrait project Inside Out.
If you'd like to help Greaves with wheat pasting, get in touch with him ASAP: steven@stevengreaves.com. His team plans to meet up at 6pm TODAY, location TDB.
