Visual Art Out of His Hands
Posted by Jen Graves on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 10:11 AM
I got an email this morning from an artist who does not know how his art got to where it is today. Where it is today is behind a chain-link fence at the corner of Second and Bell.
A zoetrope sculpture I made for the owner of the downunder nightclub in the mid 90's is now planted in an abandoned lot at 2nd and Bell. It looks pretty damaged, but also part of the urban landscape of Belltown. How it got there is a mystery to me.

It was still there Earlier this year, in the Downunder, when I went to a couple of private parties there.
I'll wager it was put out there by someone cleaning out the club space, thinking it was just some random prop from a show.

So what you're saying is that it's been abandoned and is free for the taking? Surely someone can give it a good home?

like guerrilla urban gardening, its now a guerrilla urban art garden, maybe more art should be abandoned there!

All jokes aside, Andie should be protected under the Visual Artists Right Act. His artwork should not be displayed in a manner that he feels would ruin his reputation or the reputation of his work. But, if he likes it where it is, more power to radom disaplys of art.
