Wordless Wednesday

This is another photo that we took when we were at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition on Saturday.

I’d love to have purchased this woodpecker for my garden. Maybe it would scare away the pigeons that like to hang out in our yard.

The metal artwork at this booth was very expensive. I’m not sure how much that woodpecker was but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a couple hundred dollars.

Metallic Beaver - just a little one.

I’m Canadian, eh. When we see a beaver we have to take a photo of it. Even if it’s fake.

We were at an outdoor art exhibition on Saturday when we came across an artist that had created metal sculptures of all kinds of animals. Moose, pigs, frogs, fish, birds and many others.

The sculptures were fantastic. I’m sure I’ll be posting more of them here.

One of the things that I really liked about the sculptures is the fact that they are made out of old metal items like the moose that’s made out of an old oil tank, or the pig that’s made out of an old propane tank. What better way to recycle?

Simon Pope’s “Gallery Space Recall” exhibit at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, Wales, in October is a startlingly empty room, with patrons called upon to supply the art by imagining another art show they have seen so that, wrote Pope, the two exhibits “exist at two locations simultaneously, both here and there.”

Pope wrote that the exhibit suggested the brain-injury disorder “reduplicative paramnesia,” in which a person has a delusional belief that something exists at two places at once.

What about the people that have never been to an Art exhibit before? How could they imagine another exhibit that they attended? Art is supposed to be objective but I think this is going just a little bit too far.
