Dogs woke me up at 3:30 in the morning and I couldn't go back to sleep. Fortunately, I caught this Independent Lens segment, Beauty is Embarrassing, about the extraordinary artist, sculptor, art director (etc.) Wayne White. It was worth getting up for. ;)

Streets Chairs by Bade Stageberg Cox
Such a great idea.
"Street Seats is a furniture project developed by Bade Stageberg Cox for the Pier 94 Coffee Bar at The Armory Show. The 50 chairs, found abandoned on the streets of New York, were repaired and given a new life with a coat of taxi cab yellow paint. Like the city’s residents, the chairs are an eclectic mix, migrating throughout the fair during its five-day run. The bottom of each chair is stamped and documented with the date and location it was recovered.Chairs are available for purchase."
I have about a dozen chairs squirreled away from my chair painting history. I am inspired to dig those out!

I want the moose! Don't you love this kind of vision, creativity and skill? Malen Pierson "can best be described as a folk artist, a collector of found objects, and a true innovator when it comes to the integration of old tools, farm equipment, antiquities, and all forms of metal. Few people have the creative vision to see what discarded items can become. Yet Pierson skillfully practices the art of fusion – weaving rare and abandoned metals, tools, and recycled materials into highly desirable art forms."

Sticking to the art
From the curator Caroline Cobb Wright:
"Jonathan Brilliant, incorporates materials associated with commercial coffee consumption-stir sticks, straws, sleeves, cups, and lids-to execute site-specific responsive installations, called Stick, Stack, Show." Via Artist Wanted.
