Reality Street Painting

A unique way to use a car is like a brush. Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh used eco-friendly paint to create a performance piece in a Berlin intersection. I might be slightly upset that I got paint all over my car, but to see the results as a very interesting way to record our movements would be really cool. I suppose that this would be quite a distraction in any intersection. The German motorists in this video deserve all the credit as they keep things together and don't create an accident.

Picasso Stolen

A thief walked into a San Francisco gallery, took a Picasso drawing off the wall, and then left in a taxi. It sounds like it took the robber as long as it is taking you to read this. Why? I always say this when someone steals art. Why? Don't you just wonder why they felt it was so important to steal a work of art? The worst thing of all is that the robber has ruined it for everyone else. Now nobody will be able to enjoy, appreciate, and learn from that drawing.

Chalk Drawings

Art student from Woodland Meadows are highlighting the way to summer break. Dynamic chalk drawings grace the sidewalks along the Woodland loops. With such perfect weather, the drawings will be around for as long as the children are in school. Thanks for making our school so colorful!

Duct Tape Art

Local artist Pete Warburton turns a sticky situation into an interesting representation. This morning I decided to finally stop in at the Biggby coffee shop and see Mr. Warburton's work after reading about it in the Ann Arbor newspaper a few weeks ago. Why is it so hard to just stop and look? It was worth it to stop and look this morning. With a hot cup of Michigan Cherry coffee in hand, I looked at several pieces that he created with a variety of techniques using duct tape. If you didn't know, duct tape is all the rage with students these days. Student jewelery, prom dresses, and cell phone accessories. Earlier this school year a student tried to sell me a cell phone holder constructed out of duct tape. Yes, I placed an order, but weeks later I was told that the family business never made it off the ground. Anyway, if you have the chance to visit the coffee shop between now and June 7th, I think that you will enjoy the show.
