<p><em>…And CRASH!!!  Sharesten, alone in The Christinsanity Chair, tilts over.  The band plays on.  Jo joins her.  And the two balance The Christinsanity Chair.  Friends fo&#8217;evah. </em></p>
<p>Wednesday morning we discovered that LeDroit Park had been &#8220;art bombed&#8221; with several <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Found_art" target="_blank">found-art</a> sculptures.   The Brooklyn-based artist <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#/pages/Ghetto-Picasso/107909752923" target="_blank">Ghetto Picasso</a> adorned several sidewalks with his whimsical works.  Each sculpture was tagged with a playing card with a few lines of prose and the artist’s web address.  The artist describes himself thusly:</p>
<blockquote><p>Theorizing the green movement as a last minute prayer before the Apocalypse, Ghetto Picasso symbolically interprets mankind&#8217;s edification efforts with the use of junk, salvage and reclaimed materials.</p></blockquote>
<p>As detailed in <a href="http://www.ghettopicasso.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">his blog</a>, Ghetto Picasso currently has an installation at Tryst in Adams Morgan.</p>
