Take One

About the Project

Take One is an ongoing series of public, interactive posters by artist and teacher Chris Gollmar. Inspired by the tear-off flyers that are often found on lampposts and notice boards, these posters invite passers-by to tear off a tab. As viewers remove tabs, the composition of the overall work shifts. Each tab itself becomes a small print that the viewer can keep.
