Street Art: Joshua Allen Harris’ Inflatable Bag Monsters

Posted by admin on August 25th, 2009 and filed under street | 25 Comments »

Call us boring and simple-minded, but before we saw the work of street artist Joshua Allen Harris we never once considered the artistic possibilities of subway exhaust. Using only tape and garbage bags, Harris creates giant inflatable animals that become animated when fastened to a sidewalk grate. Steven Psyllos caught up with Harris recently to discuss his older works (including a bear and a giraffe) and unveil a new beast that looks not unlike the Cloverfield monster. Video by Jonah Green

    the lochness monster is the best! But hopefully there won’t be any politicans who decide to take it down because the bags are endangering frail old ladies walking down the sidewalk.
