Today we're in the St. Claude Arts District of New Orleans, inside of Press Street, an organization that promotes art and literature in the community. We're going to be meeting with Bob Snead, the Executive Director of Press Street and an artist independent of that. He's originally from South Carolina, and traveled all over the country in a vegetable oil-powered bus doing community-based projects with the art collective Transit Antenna before he landed in New Orleans in 2010. Bob's works take a close look at the everyday objects, materials, and places around us. Past works include a series of autobiographical paintings, a full size recreation of a pickup truck out of cardboard cartons, and a handmade replica of an ATM placed inside an art gallery. Recently, he's also created Family Dollar General Tree, for which he painstakingly turns discarded cardboard into the commercially fabricated goods that you'd normally find in a dollar store. Bob often involves other people in making his work, and today's assignment is going to ask you to do the same. Hi. I'm Bob Snead, and welcome to your art assignment. Dollar stores are a real part of our everyday life here. We have a lot of dollar stores instead of grocery stores, particularly in our neighborhood and in the Lower Ninth. When I was working on the Wreck project, I was creating these fields of grass that were replicating a New Orleans neutral ground. When I was doing that, I started running out of the cardboard that I was using that was from our move, and so I started going to the dollar stores and collecting cardboard and getting really obsessed with how every piece of trash from a corporate dollar store is branded in some way with logos and the things that used to be in these boxes. And so as a side effort and kind of just playing with this material, I started making the objects that used to live in the boxes and then built from there. The first iteration of it took about two years to develop. When I'm making something for the store, I'm not thinking about one of those things. I'm thinking about making 20 of them, and how the different steps will transpire in making those 20 things. So it's more about the process than anything. The last iteration of the store that I made, I had to recruit former students of mine to assist. So I had a crew of six former students who helped produce the project, because we had a six-month deadline. Your assignment is to produce an assembly line with a group of friends. Your first step is to make an object. Your object can be made out of any material that you find in your home, your office, your work environment-- wherever you find material, you can make something out of that. And then that object, you need to make a template from that object. Then you take your friends-- you invite them to...
