They could hold several people in those big seats. Some were in the Sculpture Garden of the Museum of Fine Arts. Some of these pieces were found in the subways and the Central Station (where trains come in). Slideshow – Montreal Public Art Flickr PhotoSet (Photo above is a sculpture by Henry Moore in the Sculpture Garden of the Museum of Fine Arts.)Ĭlick this link to see the full set of images: However, I just uploaded 25 photos of artworks put there for the Public to enjoy… by whatever “powers that be” there are who do such things.

Posted in Knitting, Miscellaneous Artforms, Montreal 2012 | Comments Off on Yarn Bomb? What is THAT? I don’t imagine anyone can feel neutral about this stuff! Smile, chuckle, giggle or even be disgusted. Click for a Google Image search on the words “Yarn Bomb Graffiti” – more amazing pieces.Įven did a photo essay on what it called “ The Fine Art of Yarn Bombing.” Not all will call it a Fine Art, but I’m pleased to hear it from Time. I adore this artful category of expression. She also covered an entire School Bus in Mexico (though the writing on the bus sure looks like an Asian language). Sayeg and her team recently got commissioned to yarn bomb the Air Conditioning ducts in the main offices in New York City. (You REALLY want to click that link, the cover page is trippy and interactive.) Or watch a 1 minute Video of her explaining what she does. There is another international name in YarnBombing I follow. It did look as though it had been through a bit of weather. Above is the photo I took that day. OLEK tweeted back that she was surprised it was still there. Yet I found this piece on the street across from Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts. See Video of her installing the bull’s colorful coat. OLEK covered the bull sculpture on Wall Street, and I’ve heard it was taken down the same day it went up. This means that sometimes the work comes down rather suddenly after it was put up. She crochets covers for many things, usually without permission. ![]() (Photo above) She says “Art and Life are inseparable.” She’s my kind of person. She’s originally from Poland but is based in New York City. I saw a Yarnbombed piece by the international artist OLEK. It can be anything the artist(s) make it be. It can be goofy, political, colorful or subtle. It’s the idea of putting yarn (usually knitted or crocheted) in a public space, usually attached to a permanent object there. Meanwhile, may I introduce you to the concept of Yarn Bombing? It’s also known as yarn graffiti, Guerrilla Knitting and more. I don’t have time to post all the details but will tonight. Woohoo… big news is coming fast here at Casa de ColorJoy. ![]()
