There’s something intriguing about temporary art: from the ancient art of sand mandalas, representing the temporality of the universe, to paper clip sculptures, representing the temporality of office life. So much time put into something that’s here and then simply gone. Temporary art can be made out of almost anything: snow, food, sand, dryer lint. Perhaps its appeal is that we see ourselves in it: we too are temporary art. So much time put into something that’s here and then gone.

I love Nele Azevedo’s Melting Humans (“Minimum Monument”), a very powerful piece.
I agree, Sara.
Mitch, these are amazing! Humans are made to be creative, I think, although many of us have yet to find our genre, or our niche. Thanks be to God for all His gifts, and thanks to you for collecting and sharing these.
My pleasure, Gail.
Wow, absolutely impressive, each one of the artwork you shared. Amazing! That watermelon head but also the food art and all the others… really amazing.
I love temporary art too! It kind of makes you feel honoured that you were able to witness it as it was, whereas the person coming later might not.
Phenomenal talent! Fortunately these incredible works of temporary art were documented with photographs. Thanks for sharing, Mitch. 🙂
Indeed, photographing them has in a sense made them permanent, Nancy.
These are some amazing pics, I especially liked the Legos and the punched pumpkin 🤣
Blessings
Wow!
