I think Blue Man Tube group was the oddest show I’ve ever seen. What they could do with a toilet paper roll would astound you!
You know, I remember them….
lol that’s cute. There is a guitar playing half-naked cowboy playing out in the freezing cold every day. He is a huge “thing” in the city. what a bod too! lol
I’ve seen him and read about him.
I think this is exactly why San Francisco is my favorite city!
I don’t know how weird it was, but many years ago, I was eating lunch in the square of Sarlat, France, a medieval town near Bordeaux. Across the square, was a young msn, head-shaven, in nothing but running shorts and running shoes, playing Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring on a guitar.
Wow, for SF that would be…way normal. LOL
I’ve seen some pretty crazy performance art living near Hollywood. I am in awe of the “frozen statues” I’ve seen in Spain and Italy. However, I think the gypsies are the best at it bent over for long periods of time holding their donation dish.
Money. a motivator, for sure.
Weird and Wonderful. The Naked Grandma in Times Square is pretty “special”! We have to embrace it.. art comes in many forms!
I’ve only seen the cowboy. There’s a Grandma?
That’s a hoot! In Mexico, we came across a man who looked as though he and his chess game were moulded out of sand. They weren’t.
How cool!
I don’t know if it counts as “performance art,” but there was a guy in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for many years that they called “The Wheelie King.” He had a bicycle on which the front wheel was missing, so he popped a wheelie and rode it around town as a unicycle. Specifically, he would ride it on top of the metal dividing rail that ran down the median strip of University Blvd, the main strip in town. Up and down. Up and down. All day, as far as I could tell.
Good heavens!
That is weird and would have definitely lured me in. I haven’t noticed much of this in our area, just street performers. Then again I always seem to be rushing when I’m in the city, I may have missed some wonderful things.
I know this isn’t odd, but once in San Francisco we watched the mimes for an hour. My son was fascinated by them and we loved every second. We even followed them when they went to another corner….we were the odd ones
I’ve seen some strange art, but this one is weird and pretty awesome!
I love the people painted to look like stone statues. The stuffed dog is such a perfect added touch!!! I am not sure I would have paid close enough attention to pick up on that :)!!
It’s always fun to see the bizarre performance art in big cities – and in the hotels of Las Vegas!
That was an interesting installation !
