Found Art


Who knows what found art is??? Found art is art created from found undisguised objects that are not normally considered art often because they already have a non-art function. Marcel Duchamp ( France) was the originator of this in the early 20th century and Picasso was going crazy with it too. Found art derives its identity as art from the designation placed upon it by the artist. Here is a found art piece created by myself, i call it : " Shair". It was once a SHopping cart, now it is a cHAIR. "SHAIR". It took alot of effort ( and violence) to get the cart into my car for transportation to the work shop at school, and a lot of sawing but it was a fun project and i am happy with the results and i have never seen it done before. So while i am patting myself on the back for a great job please enjoy my art! And i must say it is rather comfy to sit in...haha. Have a good day!
