Deep Horizon Response in the Dark

Here are some photos of people writing on the oil barrels at night. The pink and blue lights provided a different atmosphere from earlier in the evening. Participation continued throughout the night.

Here are some more shots from the oil barrel installation. Later on, pink and blue lights lit up the barrels as people continued to write on them. I enjoy participatory art.

Mitchell Gaudet

Last summer Mitchell Gaudet created an installation of oil barrels that was displayed at Longue Vue Gardens. It was called “Deep Horizon Response.” Later on the installation was on view on Julia Street during the October art event, “Art for Art’s Sake.” This time, however, there was a new twist. Observers were given sidewalk chalk to draw on the barrels. I photographed some of the more interesting writings/drawings.
