Air Bear: plastic bag sculpture for subway gratings

submitted by oxdottir

1 decade 6 years 3 weeks ago

Fantastic. Looks like trash until the subway woosh comes. May not thrill some as much as the Marilyn Monroe skirt trick, but I like it a lot.

I feel sad when he deflates.

See more at http://www.videosift.com/video/Air-Zoo-More-Street-Art. The artist is Joshua Allen Harris.

hey, this made me smile. what a nice idea.

making the world a better place, one plastic bag at a time...

Really cool! Looks a bit more like Air Bud than Air Bear, but still really clever. Though, if I was the artist, I'd be worried someone might actually try to throw it in the nearest trash/recycle bin.

Next we need to see the inflatable woman over the grate upgrade.

Odd, I get the same look on my face when I get blown...

...go to sleep right after too...

No!! Don't die!! Oh... my sweet little dog/bear/sheep/animal thingie...

can think of so many wonderful air-driven street creation ideas....
Inflatable Penis ("Bite Me" written on the head at prepuce reveal)
Inflatable World Trade Center Effigy
how about a whole buncha undead coming to life along the length of the entire grate inserts-Inflatable Band o' Zombies
A bagga feathers would be cool, too-or a soap-bubble grate-coater....

Urban art rules!
