This week on “Art in the Wild,” (just kidding, I wish this were a weekly feature … hmm, maybe I should look into that) I spotted this pair of benches on my daily commute. First of all, it was cool to see something like this, totally without context, just sitting there yelling for attention.
After a little bit of digging, though, I found out what it was all about — namely, a public interactive art installation by DC area artist Linda Hesh. (Unfortunately, these were behind a gate, so the “interactive” part was limited. Still cool, though.)
Not every day you stumble across art hanging out in public staring you in the face. Not that you recognize as such, anyway.
Nifty.
