day 38...window art day!




day 38..."window art day"  this is a misleading title for todays entry, as unless your'e on the pannel that decides the turner prize (art prize in the u.k) what i boshed in my window clearly isnt art. The thinking behind this task was that people of all political persuasions like to advertise their opinions in windows..they will protest against almost anything in form of window stickers etc.. There must be something more entertaining to say, benrik gave some directions as to the kind of thing that may atract more atention.. and asked me to place it in the houses most dominant window for 24 hours, and see the reaction it recieves, above you will see the "window art" i rocked with.

To arrive at these posters i thought of, and turned down many... such as "help, im being held against my will", "i dare you to burgle me passer by" and "this window is 100% brick proof". While all of the above would have been way funnier, im currently at my parents house and bearing in mind we live in teesside tempting people to either brick your window  or rob you isnt wise, as they would happily do it without any encouragement.

The rection im glad to report was funny more than riotous, basically a whole lot of people  cracking up as they walked past, some looking angry and  like they wanted to come and knock on the door, (they presumably decided against after realising doing so would prove both signs correct, they WERE looking into the window, and if "i know that your doing" bothers you.. your clearly doing something you dont like people knowing about.) And the highlight of the day for me was the nice old lady that edged further and further into the front garden as she couldnt read the signs, then rushed off when she saw me watching her from the upstairs window.. priceless.
