Public art on the corner of Broadway and Columbus, in San Francisco’s North Beach. The site-specific sculpture is called ” Language of the birds”, by Brian Goggin with Dorka Keehn. Lovely!

the perfect pink public space

Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist designed this public art project proposal few months ago. She wants to turn pink a very grey stretch of street in Copenhagen…

Link to the article – in Danish – from this excellent blog here. I still don’t know if the pink “subconscious material” coming out from the water to the street will materialize itself in the streets of CPH, but I’ll keep you posted! She already turned red a whole road in a Swiss city, Sankt Gallen.

And this is a very good (and cheap) book on women artists, where I first found out about her.
