I have very fond memories of seeing Oldenburg's Ice Bag when I was a young art student; so wonderfully material and simple, and wryly funny.

This is hilarious! And the expression of the passerby.

Look how people had their own shopping baskets before the fossil fuel industry destroyed our planet, in part, with their plastic.

Not sure I want to see the word experiment on a road sign if im driving

So do you think there shouldn't be experiments with road layouts, or you shouldn't be warned there's something unusual coming up?

hookersandwhiskey.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ill go with the no warning its nice to be surprised ( as the bus could be if I hit it )

The woman watching in the background must be related to the woman watching Mary Tyler Moore throw her hat in the air several years later.

This is giving me Art School Flashbacks, so many days of walking down the street, late for class, struggling to carry some weird project and getting funny looks

The LOOKS I got on the day I lugged a wet painting almost as big as me, featuring prominent larger-than-life boobs as the focal point
