SuperHeroism:
The Adventures of TransitMan
May 3 – June 3, 2007
Investigating the power of everyday actions, artist Christian French has discovered an unlikely venue for salvation: public transportation.
Exposed to freakish Bureaucratic Radiations while serving as Artist-in-Residence at Sound Transit, the mild-mannered artist was transformed into a rogue SuperHero with a mission to save the world by riding the bus.
SuperHeroism: The Adventures of TransitMan catalogues the artist’s/Hero’s experiences to date and explores the questions that face us all with regards to the choices we make on a daily basis. If it is possible to change the world through simple acts, do we then have an obligation to do so?
Before you answer, ask yourself "Do I look good in Spandex?"
