RANDOM. A word I love when it refers to art. Four very unique installations have popped up in various locations around Memphis, TN. Three of these seems to have a similar theme - red. As of this writing it is a mystery as to who created & placed these displays. Whoever created these has given a welcome relief to an otherwise dreadful commute on the way to our respective jobs/classes/picking the kids up from soccer >>>
LOCATION: Poplar & Highland - April 2003
A larger than life garden. Some of these "plants" are over 10 feet in height. Materials are mixed, including metal sheeting, wood, pipe cleaners & styrofoam
LOCATION: Poplar Overpass @ Walnut Grove - April 2003
Many, many paintings on sign posts certainly litter this otherwise small, bleak patch of grass.
LOCATION: Overton Park - April 2003
A real treat to local golfers, I'm sure. At first glance one might think, "My, but aren't they getting clever with golf flags these days?". The red in these abstract shapes cannt be ingnored by passers-by on Poplar.
LOCATION: North Parkway - April 2003
From a distance this magnificant pieces resembles a very large ball of twine. This mass of dyed red vines on wooden platform is at least 25 feet in diameter. Very impressive display.
If you have any information as to who or what group made these creations please drop me a line so I might give credit.
