I'm loving that plentiful bike
parking hidden from the cars by big planters and a curb. Great
place to park when it has spaces available. After I parked
my bike I started looking for art to document. There was lots and
lots!
Most of the art was locally made and
promoted.
The woman in pink body paint let me
have one of her strawberries. It was delicious.
Cardboard Box Theater does theater
from the English tradition using cardboard boxes as the raw
material for their sets. It's about the experience and the
audience, not the setting.
Joe had his bike valet service set
up at the corner of William and 1st. Seems like he had lots of
takers for the service. He was doing it for tips, which probably
worked out okay.
This guy was a treat to watch. He
had awesome control over his ring, which must be quite heavy.
For some reason those large birdlike
beings seemed to be "bandersnatches" to me. Anyhow, they were part
of the scene in the ZeroOne Garage.
All this stuff was was a white cloth
strung along a frame about ten or fifteen feet long. It was back
lit by colored light that changed slowly but steadily. They had
black cardboard cutouts and kids had a great time holding stuff up
for mom and dad to take pictures of. The shadow art images were
dramatic!
These guys were playing video games
on the sides of the buildings!
That woman's shirt featured a
version of Rock, Paper, Scissors I'd never seen before. The hand
signal for Lizard is to hold your hand in the shape of a lizard
head, thumb under the palm and fingers all together and somewhat
curved. I'm wondering how the play differs from the usual game.
The woman on the stool was a poet.
She just enjoyed the moments I spent taking to her. I gather there
were other artists of various types on stools in other places, but
I never found them. I saw the paint spattered woman lead a couple
of different artists to the stool during the evening. I gather
that was part of the art to.
At that point my camera's battery
died, so I couldn't take any more pictures.
