can i take your coat sir?

…installation of 200 stolen coats and jackets, taken over a 10 year period from London pubs and clubs.

Each coat and it’s contents were numbered and catalogued. Displayed for reclamation to anyone who could give the correct details of the theft / pocket contents. Each coat was tagged with it’s catalogue number and a personal diary entry made on the night the items were stolen…

amusing / provocative project Whose Coat is That Jacket you’re wearing? from UK artist ‘mike ballard’ which is part of the current ‘pièce de resistance’ exhibition showing at my neighbours office downstairs: mediamatic

kuno grommer

i really love these pieces by a dutch artist who i’d never heard of before: kuno grommer, he is trained as a photgrapher but now makes these beautiful ‘trompe l’oeuil’ installations

some of them almost look like spatial typography to me (link via ‘nalden’)
