Civic Pavers, a new and timely multiple by Joe Bochynski, give tangible form to the expression of a sentiment in the tradition of Allan McCollum’s Visible Markers. Bochynski’s bricks, however, convey a darker, passive aggression. But, to be fair, bricks are for building as well as throwing. To Bochynski Civic Pavers embody the situationists motto “Beneath the pavement, the beach”. Signed and numbered. The sale of Civic Pavers will benefit the ACLU. 80% of the proceeds from the sale of each paver will be donated.
