<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Nate Swain. I am going to show you all the places in Boston and surrounding communities that I personally think could use a little polishing, brightening, greening, or softening. Basically places that could use some art, photography, sculpture or better architecture. I am going to be pointing out places you probably never noticed because they are not worth looking at.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These neglected places are everywhere in our landscape. They are areas that all have potential to be something more beautiful but currently fail. I have gone around the entire city taking photographs of the public realm. I have trained my eyes to hunt these spots out. I have figured only about 10% to 15% of Boston is blank ugly. Don’t let that number fool you. There are thousands of these drab spaces and places. The square footage is massive. They add up to something blanker and uglier than the sum of their parts. There are little ones and sometimes big ones. They are mostly vertical but sometimes horizontal in nature. They all are not reaching their potential or just seem forgotten about. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am of the belief that in the public realm we should always show due diligence in design and care. It is a reflection of our culture. If you see half hearted effort in the public realm then it’s OK to do the same in all aspects of your life. Have you ever notices the beautiful places are the places where people care the most about. Industrial looks like industrial because it doesn’t give a shit about the way it looks. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not going to talk about dressing up the industrial sections of Boston because beauty doesn’t help the industrial bottom line. Besides I find beauty in some things industrial. I am going to be focusing on residential and commercial areas. I am looking at all the neighborhoods, shopping sections, financial areas, schools, and institutions. I am going to ignore back allies and the private realm. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I consider cars and trucks private realm so I am going to remove or modify all automobiles in my photos. I also think cars clutter up the public realm and they are part of the ugliness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am going to start the Blank Ugly Boston photo blog in the North End. This is where I happen to live and this is also where I have already done some projects using photography and painting. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am going to circumvent the city in an ever expanding vortex starting on the corner of Prince and Salem Street. It's the location of my first public art project.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I try and follow a philosophy when doing my artwork. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My philosophy is:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are going to create anything on a blank surface, consider the whole blank surface. No postage stamps. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No text or numbers of any language. Just use raw imagery.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make it as non-narcissistic and non-antagonistic as possible. Make it powerfully subtle.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Keep people out of the image unless its historical. There are enough real people in the city to look at. We don’t need more giant catatonic painted or photographed people to look at.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make it easily removable in a matter of minutes or seconds. Also at the same time Non permanent lasting no more than 10-20 years. I use large sheets of sticky vinyl or stretched non-sticky solid or mesh vinyl over the blank surface. </span></div>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ask permission from the property owner or manager to beautify the space. If they say no make note of that decision in a public forum. When people say NO they must be comfortable with that <span style="line-height: 115%;">decision</span> before their neighbors and peers. </span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now here is a map showing all the wall locations I found within the North End.</span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5s8eBiNu_s/T1K7Frf9yVI/AAAAAAAABbE/cz3pd3zcIPY/s1600/north-end500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5s8eBiNu_s/T1K7Frf9yVI/AAAAAAAABbE/cz3pd3zcIPY/s1600/north-end500.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">I know this looks like a lot but it is only about 10% to 15% of the neighborhood. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">I am not proposing to cover every one of these surfaces with street art or photography. I just want to point them out to start a dialogue.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to end by stating that I think the North End and the City of Boston is extremely detailed, beautiful, and exciting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a link showing beautiful murals throughout the city.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://evolvingcritic.tumblr.com/">http://evolvingcritic.tumblr.com/</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blank and or boring does not equal ugly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ugliness and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Honestly who cares what I think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am about to show you something you <span style="line-height: 115%;">probably</span> never noticed before and show you ideas you never thought possible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to know what you think.</span></div>

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">There is a interesting story behind this steel structure in the North End. For anyone who doesn't know it is supposed to be a Pergola. It is meant to grow vines up and over the top. I went to every meeting in the planning process of the 2 parks that are built on the greenway. I was on the committee that guided the designers to make the park what it is today. </span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">In one of the last meetings the designers presented this steel Pergola design. </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Nobody at the meeting liked it. We all wanted something softer and more human scale. They designers said too bad, times up, designs done. They shoved this design down our throats. </span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">The designers promised that it would have climbing roses. That got axed during construction. The powers that be decided without trying that roses would not grow. Clematis (<em>that dies back to the ground every year</em>) was the vine they chose and planted on every pole. Now over half of them died. </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: large;">The vines need something to climb on. Something more than a vertical wire. </span></strong></div><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The North End got shafted in the Pergola design process. No Roses grow on the structure. Clematis grows on less than half of the vertical beams. I have a heard people comment that it looks unfinished. The Greenway Conservancy refuses to plant any real vines on the pergola because they are afraid the vines may have clingy roots. They are preparing today for when the Pergola needs painting 50 years from now. It looks like a remnant from the old elevated highway or a unfinished prefab Butler building frame. </span></strong><br />
