July 3, 2010: Shipping container art
UniqueDaily points us to this blog entry which has the details and more pics:
| Shipping containers are often repurposed as houses, apartments and studios, but Swedish artist Michael Johansson sees them as building blocks for his sculptures. In a new exhibit in Umeå, Sweden, Johansson stacks shipping containers, shipping pallets, trash cans, a volvo, a tractor and an old RV to create art that any hipster would be jealous of. The result is Self Contained, a three dimensional temporary wall that is a fascinating collage of textures, colors and repurposed objects. |
I'm in favor of this sort of thing. It's not great, but it's certainly random. It's also temporary; I think it should be permanent, a piece of public sculpture.

Repurposed.

It's funnier if you think the dude played tetris with real objects.

First glance, I thought he had painted an old shipping container to look like the objects in it. After seeing the other pics, it looked like a pile of trash.

Uh-oh. Now the toilet inside that camper is going to leak all over the back wall.

I don't like it. It looks worse than the building behind it.
