Street Installations

http://www.xmarkjenkinsx.com/outside.html

I came across this website for Mark Jenkins over the summer. I was really interested in the street installations he did. Whether it was a red carpet leading to a sewer or a walker locked up like a bike on a street pole, it grabbed my attention. I like the idea of art outside of a museum or gallery; something you see unexpectedly walking down the street. No one expects to see a body floating in a river with a few balloons attached to the back. It's that element of shock or surprise that really draws me to what Jenkins does.
