Public Intervention Art

I am intrigued by Gabriel Orozco. His art is as unexpected as it is beautiful. I was most fascinated with the images of where he places things in unexpected places; not jut cat food on watermelons or cat pictures among the green beans, but images of eyes in the sand, as well as images of broken trees and impossible skeletons.

I decided to try to do something unexpected. I have a toy "My Little Pony" and I decided to take it places where most toys do not go and see what happens.

First stop: Pony on a dumpster

Pony on a Fence
I liked the foggy background

Saw a shopping cart in a parking lot. It became
Pony and Cart

Pony Post

Pony Parks Legally

I liked Lee Walton making art by moving things. I tried to move things and make it art as well. I was in the grocery store and rearranged a few things on shelves. Taking pictures in the store made me really nervous.

Here is the "before" of the cereal shelf

I left things as they were after the change but wonder if anybody notices change in a grocery store.
