Over the last six months, another set of images were popular on my facebook page (glenn.weiss.100). The question is why? What separates these projects from many, many others. I tried to give one answer to each set. (Click here for the most liked facebook public art)
Lovely use of bright colors. Lifts the spirit.
Amazing dedication of unique cultures to add the aesthetic to their world.
Simple intervention that works for the general public. Standard accepted art applied to new places.
Ego of public display by the artist in a joyful way. Yet annoying to a segment of the general public.
New art springboarding from traditional materials.
The courage to do it. The surprise at the visual success. The inhumanity of the original construction.
