Advisor for The National Museum, a project by Jon Rubin.
Co-curated the Dread Scott contribution.

The first outdoor presentation of Piotr Szyhalski's entire series COVID-19: Labor Camp Report featuring 225 drawings, made one per day starting in March of 2020, and continuing until November 3, election day. The installation was printed on newsprint and wheatpasted on a new billboard built specifically for the project on Falls Road in Baltimore.

As part of recovering from athe COVID-19 global pandemic, in summer 2021 del Pesco and artist Liz Flyntz organized a free one-night screening in a public park of the unforgettable series 2 Lizards, by Meriem Bennani and Orian Barki. Using high-powered magnets to attach a canvas screen to an existing shipping container, and rotating nearby baseball bleachers, a Covid-safe outdoor cinema was created.

For the Counterpublic Triennial in 2019, Joseph del Pesco and artist Jon Rubin collaborated on a new commission, Monuments, Ruins and Forgetting, installed in an empty storefront on Cherokee Street in St. Louis, Missouri. The hand-painted signage was installated in three month-long stages, and was accompanied by letterpress posters appearing in the neighborhood. Monuments, Ruins and Forgetting inaugurated a new (and speculative) "National Museum" that—over the course of three months—presented a micro-narrative about historical change.

New Signs, Old Goucher, 2017-2019

In collaboration with local community leader Kelly Cross, once a year del Pesco organized the installation of a temporary public artwork in the Old Goucher neighborhood of Baltimore. All three artworks served as textual 'monuments' (following the removal of confederate monuments in the city) and each, in very different ways, evoked a critical social response to the political moment, and the progressive growing-pains of the city.
