Call out to Yarn Bombers!

This is a copy and paste from https://www.facebook.com/MaineStreetStitchers

#IYBD2013 is on it's way! We are planning a #yarnbombing #garden. As I was thinking today I thought since it is International Yarn Bombing Day why not try and reach the project out to the world of Yarn Bombers. We are planning a Knit and Crocheted garden. And would love for others to take part! We would request that you send flowers, bugs (made up monster bugs or others) to ME.S.S. member Acts of Random Art at:

Acts of Random Art

PO Box 182

Freeport ME

04032

In return we will name you an honorary ME.S.S. member and if you want to add your tags to your work we would love it! And we will send bombings in return for you. It can be a great way to start a Yarn Bombing Exchange Program. And please let us know if you send us things so we can keep an eye out for the work!

Happy International Yarn Bombing Day in advance!

A.o.R.A.

The World: The Ultimate Museum, The Ultimate Canvas or The Ultimate Gallery?

I’ve been concentrating on documenting all kinds of public art projects for just under two years and it has been a blast. I capture work from known and unknown artists - stickers, wheat pasting, graffiti, etc., and also some of my own chalk, yarn-bombings and magnetic work. That has made me wonder how other people doing all forms of street art see the world - Museum vs.Canvas vs Gallery.

The world as Museum makes a lot of sense to me. With world being the Museum, then countries, states, cities and towns are the Galleries. I make two dimensional and three dimensional work that fits into the concept of being in a Gallery. My own work has only had a small corner in a few galleries! I have had work in the Maine, Wisconsin, and the Pennsylvania Gallery. Where one sets the work - drawing with chalk, graffiti on a wall, yarn-bombing a bench, placing a statue or sculpture in a park – I see that as the Canvas.

I’m sure some curators wish they had control of the Ultimate Museum. I think these are truly the museum and galleries where street artists have complete say over what they want the public to see on their canvas.

So what do you think of the world - Museum? Gallery? Canvas?

Please share your opinion.

Daily Posts- strange delay...

Just so everyone knows there are daily pictures from a yarnbombing night by the Maine Street Stitchers. For some reason Facebook did not post the images but they can all be found at www.instagram.com/actsofrandomart.
