This project explores the interface between art, regional planning, traditional Chinese medicine and the health of a city.

Needles appearing across the city will bring attention to the some of the city's most challenging problems, greatest assets, as well as places with enormous potential.

Between now and Fall 2010, needles will move from place to place in a roving city-wide installation.

The project is coinciding with a series of public workshops to help steer the Portland Plan, a guide for the city's growth over the next 25 years.

“Using the body as a metaphor for the entire city, Kuby hopes to identify those places in the landscape that are important to us as a community, drawing attention not only to the significance of each focal point but also to the interconnectedness of them to each other as well as to ourselves.”
