Career

Seifer created "optimism MetroCard",[1] a public-art project produced in collaboration with the MTA Arts & Design,[2] and launched in 2009. The artwork involved a wordmark designed by the artist placed[3] on the reverse of 14,000,000 MetroCards,[4] New York City's public transportation pass.

In solo exhibitions at The Armory Show, 2010 [5] and 2011,[6] Reed Seifer presented projects "Spray to Forget" and "New York Is a Lot of Work.", respectively.

"Spray to Forget," is an interactive,[7] aromatherapeutic [8] work proposed to "edit one's consciousness"[9] and remove "undesired memories" by spraying it.[10] "New York Is a Lot of Work." is an edition of 1,000 American one-dollar bills [11] imprinted in foil with the text, "New York is a lot of work." in black and white.[12]

Seifer's work has also been exhibited at Art Platform—Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California;[13] Hunt Gallery, Webster University,[14] St. Louis; Clark University,[15] Worcester, Massachusetts; ISCP and Proteus Gowanus in Brooklyn, New York;[16][17][18] DC Moore Gallery,[19] HERE Arts Center,[20] and Printed Matter in New York City, New York;[21] and Huize Frankendael, Amsterdam.[22]
