Legos meet history

I came across the work of Jan Vormann a while back and am absolutely in love with it. He patches up old walls using lego. The contrast between the historical walls and arches and the vibrant colors and different texture of the legos is stunning.

Here are some of the works he has done in Bocchignano, Italy “a village close to Rome, as part of the group project "20 Eventi". The group of artists developed projects for 4 villages of the Sabina region.”
Also some pictures from Tel Aviv, Israel for the exhibition "Length / Width"

Sneaking your art into the Venice Biennale

A few years back I was contacted by Guilia about an incredibly cool stunt she pulled at the Venice Biennale. Guilia wrote her thesis on "destruction, “detournement”, interaction, vandalism and other with art-works". (see - we are not all uneducated museum-spotters)

Gonzales Torres´ artwork "Untitled" (The End) is two stack of white posters with a black border where the museum-audience can take away sheets of paper if they please. During the Biennale everyone was carrying one around because they saw other people carrying the sheets - an automatic act.

So our art rebel in question took some papers and started folding them.
And sure enough - within a few minutes others caught on.
Guilia pulled back and the artwork that once was created by Torres now had taken on a new life. So who is the artist now? Is it Felix or Guilia?

If you had take the name of Torres away from the reams of paper and place them in a different setting - are they then still art?

Thanks so much for sharing Guilia.
Keep on asking questions - keep rebelling!!

A mighty big horse!

The first contact from a fellow art-rebel was in 2006.

A guy calling himself "Pietro" representing the Grand Rapids Alliance of MICHief in MICHigan had answered the age old question of "if a 7 meter high horse could take a dump - how much poop would it be?"

The horse in question is Leonardo Da Vincis "Gran Cavallo", and the site was well protected. The gang managed to "sneak in" (climbed a fence and avoided security cameras and security patrols) with their oversized shovel and poop.
Their artwork: "Paletta Grande" (large scooper/shovel)

Mad props to our rebellious art brothers in US of A.

Where culture rebels will meet

The following blog will track public art stunts and modern art experiments.

This blog will post and reference events and art I find on the net, but I will also post pictures and stories that people send me.
