The Pedestrian Project consists of several performers wearing entirely black custom-made costumes modeled after the generic images of men, women, and children seen on public signs. Mimicking the lives of everyday people, the roaming sculptural forms inspire the imaginations of onlookers, who often find themselves mesmerized as these familiar icons assume busy lives of their own.

I wanted to get art out of the gallery and out of the museum,” said, Brian Goggin. “I’m interested in working with absurdity in ways that are compelling and entertaining.

Here’s something for the weekend… Bob Turek, currently studying at Cranbrook Academy of Art, creates some amazing “sculptures.” Read more on his profile page. There’s little doubt that Mr.Turek would make a fortune if he would mass produce & sell these creations. Who wouldn’t want a full sized headless maniquinn, blasting House music from it’s nipple-speakers, adoring one’s living quarters?
