Finding Found Art
Ghetto Picasso's calling card.
…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’evah.
Wednesday morning we discovered that LeDroit Park had been “art bombed” with several found-art sculptures. The Brooklyn-based artist Ghetto Picasso 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:
Theorizing the green movement as a last minute prayer before the Apocalypse, Ghetto Picasso symbolically interprets mankind’s edification efforts with the use of junk, salvage and reclaimed materials.
As detailed in his blog, Ghetto Picasso currently has an installation at Tryst in Adams Morgan.
Found at the LeDroit Park gate.
Found in the front garden at T and Sixth Streets NW
Attached to a fence at T and Wiltberger Streets NW
