MICHAEL LANDY 2011

I am interested in everyday acts of kindness that mere mortals conduct … they happen the whole time in a busy bustling city between complete strangers. Michael Landy

For the 24th Kaldor Public Art Project in partnership with Art & About, celebrated UK artist Michael Landy created a major new work, Acts of Kindness, for Sydney. Acts of Kindness explored the meaning of kindness in today’s fast-paced world, focusing on the simple everyday gestures of compassion and generosity that occur throughout the city streets and often go unnoticed. Stories of kindness were collected from people across Sydney to form the basis for Landy’s ambitious new artwork. Landy created a 13-metre installation in lower Martin Place, mapping the Sydney CBD and indicating where the 200 stories of kindness were placed throughout the city streets. Read some of the stories of kindness and send your own for the online component of Acts of Kindness.
