Where Art meets the everyday

Hello, my name is ART.
Hello, my name is the Mundane.
Pleased to meet you.

I love it when the lines between art and everyday life here on earth blur. I see instances of this all the time. My intent here is to explore and document where I see this happening. I love it when ideas come down out of the abstract and we can view them, participate with them, experience them here on earth. This is true art to me. This is part of 'Heaven on Earth' to me, and the inspiration for this blog.

Two relatively recent examples of this that piqued my interest were a comedy group that created an art gallery out of an existing subway station, and Alexander McQueen's method of unveiling some of his fashion pieces. I'll put links to these gems to follow.


Perceiving the coming and going of a new york subway as performance art is art simply in the recognition of it as such. To observe the objects of everyday life as objects of art takes a special eye, a special perception; a la Marchel Duchamp. But it opens up a world that is at once fun, thrilling, and at times, comedic. Perhaps he put it best when he said:

The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.

Here are my examples. Enjoy.
