Art Installations in Public

Sometimes when we see them, we don’t grasp it right away. Usually it takes a double take or three for us to realize that what we are seeing hasn’t always been there and/or isn’t supposed to be there. The art of an art installation is for us to appreciate these pieces in our every day lives. They make us smile, laugh, and question. Many art installations are sponsored though and not done by chance. At that point, some see it as being too promotional, in-your-face, and as an invasion to public space. Regardless, to me it is art. I think it makes life fun and exciting and spontaneous. Here are a few of my favorites that I grabbed from The Cool Hunter.
