Key to the City

In 2010, Paul Ramirez Jonas - an artist who teaches at Hunter - did a public art project with Creative Time called “Key to the City.” These keys opened locations around the city including a light post in Bryant Park, secret exhibitions at museums, a post box in the Bronx, and more (it still works in some places and I encourage someone to try it!) I like this key because it shows how an object can serve as a social contract.
