Crammed in Odd Places

I found this article about artist Willie Dorner who created a new project consisting of living sculptures in 2009. The basis of the project was to have multiple contortionists cram into city spaces where people are normally not found. The idea was to get people to open their minds and start thinking in new ways. I think it must have been a fascinating, yet odd sight to see in person, definitely amusing and impressive. I'm not sure if public observers understood the purpose of the project, but it may definitely have inspired them to try something out of the box and unconventional. This is the first I've seen of it and I think it really makes a statement about pushing boundaries, or rather seeing how much you can do within them. The pictures are really cool so take a look.

  1. That is so cool! Could you imagine going to an audition for this. It would certainly be interesting. This is definitely art that is getting everyone involved who is a part of it or looking at it.
