The OVERLOOK Project Space at Southern Exposure features The Unexpected in Public Space, an interactive exhibit of places, objects, and events that intervene in one's everyday experience in public environments. The project is organized by students in the MA Curatorial Practice Program and is inspired by the students' research on public art practice. In particular, the students have investigated inSite, a network of contemporary art programs and commissioned projects that investigate the border zone of San Diego-Tijuana.

The Unexpected in Public Space endeavors to generate a discussion about public art practices in San Francisco through presenting interviews with curators and artists as well as soliciting the public's response.

To learn more about this project and to submit your own encounters with the unexpected, please visit theunexpected.org or email info@theunexpected.org.

This project has been made possible, in part, by funding from the Getty Foundation.
