Well, I put up perhaps the most fun piece of streetart I’ve ever done today.
Back in May, a friend and I had his little 2-year-old son paint a picture on some paper with a bunch of fingerpaints. The idea, as I saw it, would be to hang this picture somewhere in downtown Montreal as an example of ‘high art’. Art galleries in a number of cities- the ex-Ottawa Portrait Gallery being among them- periodically bring out some of their work and display it at a street level during festivals or special events.
Well, I borrowed the gold frame idea from the Urban Curators Project and today we went out to hang up his masterpiece…
And here we are… Frame, plexiglass and wire were found on garbage-day back in late April and assembled together last night. Since Mack’s favourite thing in the whole wide world is indeed apple juice, that’s what he chose to name his magnum opus.
And here’s Mack himself at his vernissage…
Hamming it up for the cameras…
Love this!
