Art Outing

I love those kind of actions!! Why keep all the beauty of our master art pieces locked inside the museums? Julien de Casabianca, french artist, filmmaker and visual artist thought of a way to integrate art in our every-day-life. He initiated the Outings Project which happens all over the world!

Thats the thing: Everybody in their own town can go to their museum, take pictures of portraits (best is an anonymous one) with their phone and set them free! You take the picture – print it out and stick it to the wall in the street with some wallpaper glue. It might feel a bit revolutionary, but it is still on the legal side – because it´s art :)

One of my favourite artists is Martin Creed from the UK. I was attracted by his work in the London restaurant Sketch. ( I did a blog post about that place earlier.)

Martin Creed and his work at Sketch, London

Creed is internationally acclaimed for working across a multitude of disciplines including installation, sculpture, music, dance and film. And he got famous when he won the turner price 2001. What I like so much about him is his playful approach towards art. For him ART is just a word – and by the way: he numbers his work consecutively. So each work has the same importance, wether he arranges artistically some balls lying around – or glues a sticky something to the wall. And there is always fun and humor in his work.

Another eccentric work of Creed has been the runners at the Tate Gallery. Every 30 seconds some runners were sprinting through the rooms as if their life depended on it. As Creed said, he wanted to show an example of being alive as the opposite of death, being perfectly still. But first of all he wanted to create something funny, what made him smile.

This perfectly corresponds to my way of experiencing and looking at art. Do you like this kind of art making you smile?

I´d love to hear from you in the comments!

Puuh… so hard to decide for only one of her wonderful pieces: Sarah Illenberger is a multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin and does such great work at the intersection of art graphic design and photography. She is highly creative and there is always fun and a twist in her work. These are her beautiful flowerworks…..

I also love her knitted heart and her advertisment works for big names like Hermes, Nike, Nomos etc…to be admired at: www.sarahillenberger.com
