Human Being

OBSERVED hired The Custodian to take care of the work and the surrounding area during installations. He cleans up our streets, doesn't speak while he is on the job, and loves what he does. We are grateful for his time and know he will live forever.

77 Years • 6’4” • 185lbs
.001
2017

.001 is the first piece that OBSERVED released in December 2017 on the streets of New York City. The piece lived on The Custodian’s Cart and a number of people tried to use it as a real trash can. It is not a real trash can.
.002
2018

.002 is the second piece that OBSERVED released in May 2018 on the streets of New York City. The Custodian struggled to move it at times and we feared he might retire early. He persevered. The ants helped.
.003
2018

.003 is the third piece that OBSERVED released in September 2018 on the streets of New York City. Life In Process.
.004
2019

.004 is the fourth piece that OBSERVED released in 2019 on the streets of New York City. We wanted to make something you could have...so we made a paper. Don’t worry, there are a lot of pictures.
