Cacti are sprouting in Manhattan?
——-
Presented by the Animus Arts Collective, they create these urban “cacti” by linking brightly colored cable ties thousands of times around a lamppost. According to the makers of this project, “We as artists wanted to create something of beauty out of everyday items. We wanted to show that making art doesn’t require a lot of resources, formal education, or even money. Art and creativity are things we’re all capable of.”
At a Busy Intersection, Going Beyond Red, Yellow and Green
Splish, splash, it’s a blast of color in downtown Chicago.
According to the artist, Jessica Stockholder:
“I wanted to fill the intersection with color — to have a presence at this busy site that could withstand all the cars and trucks and people and at the same time interact with them.”
