CONFESSIONS by Candy Chang

You know Candy Chang - she’s the brilliant mind behind the ‘Before I Die’ project.

Now she’s back with a new public art project, Confessions. Confessions is a public art project that invites people to anonymously share their confessions and see the confessions of the people around them in the heart of the Las Vegas strip.

Chang is now the Artist-in-Residence at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas; from July 19 – Aug 12, 2012 she invited people to write and submit their confessions on wooden plaques in the privacy of confession booths. Candy hung the anonymous plaques on the gallery walls and painted select responses on large canvases. “The project seeks to create a cathartic sanctuary for this temporary community and help us see we are not alone in our quirks, experiences, and struggles as we try to lead fulfilling lives.” 

BEFORE I DIE PHILLY

The Before I Die Project has come to Philadelphia! We’ve been riding by it all week trying to catch it in different stages.

Before I Die is an interactive public art project that invites people to share their hopes and dreams in public space. Painted with chalkboard paint and stenciled with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______”, the wall becomes a space where we could learn the hopes and dreams of the people around us.

*The wall is located on Broad Street bwtn Pine & Spruce

Before I Die
“It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you.”
