Art of the Can


This past week, an exhibit was built on the island closest to the National Theater. The exhibit was called "Art of the Can," it was Red Bull can art. It was actually a fairly stellar set-up for what it was. The exhibit was set up on the Northern tip of the island, they even set up a dock specifically for showcasing the smaller entries. The cases appeared to float on the water as well. A Red Bull bar was set up, so anyone wanting a Red Bull drink could order a drink. Aside from the other small pieces set up along the walkways to the bar and the dock, there was a white room housing the larger projects. The white room was reminiscent of a room with pillowed walls and was very bright. In one corner was a DJ playing music. The most impressive entry split the space, it's installment was so large. It was a break-down of the Mona Lisa. The artist essentially made several individual art pieces and organized them so that when you look at them from the front (near the entry way) you see the Mona Lisa. There were also marionette's, paintings, etc. etc. I just thought it was one of the more unsual, but enjoyable things I've seen pop up in Prague.

Seeing as Blogspot is still having difficulties uploading pictures, you can see them here.

That Red Bull can with wings looks pretty cool Meghan. I love the way the light above it casts shadows.
