Catch-up

1/4 mural on MBT NE DC. I watched part of it be painted and the artist came back the next day to paint over where it had been tagged. Anyone know why some murals are tagged and others left alone?

1/5 The Hellmingo lawn art 18th St NE DC near Hamlin. She looked pretty cool at Burning Man: https://amoebaartscollective.com/

 

 

1/6 Cloud Rain by Kyungmi Shin at Brookland Middle School/Turkey Thicket NE DC

The description is pretty cool about how it lights up, though since I arrived before the storm I can’t verify if the lights change with different water levels: “This shade structure is an abstraction of cloud and rain. It features 6 circular disks cut with words describing the various states of water in the water cycle. Each disk is supported by a slanted column mimicking the raindrops by its angle and the LED lights embedded in the column. The LED light is controlled by the water tank level gauge and functions as an indicator for the storm water level in the storage tank located underneath the artwork site.” (From https://www.shingraystudio.com/cloud-rain)

Catching Up with #publicartfinder Posts for the Time the Forum was Down

Since there still seem to be some remaining glitches with the new forum, I’ll take late entries until all the glitches have been worked out, as long as you’ve posted your art find is posted to Strava with the #publicartfinder tag.

So many great public art pieces today on my ride! But the last time I was here this one was incomplete, so I purposefully rode back to see it and use it on my post. This artist, Adrian Lopez, specializes in these “arms out wide” paintings. Many of them are on street corners where residential walls provide canvases begging for adornment.
