Just stumbled across this whilst looking for outdoor installation art and thought some of the observations were quite funny.
The piece features three artists working together to create installations out of SOD (squares of grass) The one Iparticularly enjoyed was by Roger Maddox, who constructed a cross walk out of strips of the grass. The thing i liked most was peoples responses to the art, noting that it was the children that were the most excited. They were jumping around,upon and around the strips of SOD and retracing their steps.
It is interesting that it was noticed that alot of people walked around the strips and the artists displays a theory upon this of ' cultural conditioning' and not wanting to disturb the grass.
Those who are attracted to what departs from the norm were clearly impressed. No one appeared to be either upset, or annoyed, some were clearly amused, and others paid little attention.
How funny. Was this the intention?
