Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating an early period in Chester Alamo-Costello's career in the 1990s, when he worked as a member of "Armpit" (1992–8), a performance and public art group that explored ephemeral works in non-traditional, often public spaces. The image depicts a specific body of work, the "urban drop-offs" or "urban totems" created in empty Chicago city lots that were made from refuse found on-site. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key developmental phase of work in his career. The group's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
