So, I know that in some cases, it can be hard to distinguish between architecture and art. Especially in a city like Seattle which is so full of inbetween things of an aestethically appealing nature. But I’ve just simply had to make a choice. Here is some of the art of Seattle:
Pioneer Square:
(Does it say really ‘UNDERBAR’, or am I just seeing things?)
Downtown, by Pike Place Market:
(Yes, it’s an entire wall covered in chewing gum.)
Belltown:
Capitol Hill:
In Volunteer Park:
University of Washington:
And then, finally, Fremont:
(Yes, it’s a huge statue of Lenin, shipped over from Slovakia, where it was found in a scrap yard sometime after 1990. If it hadn’t been found, it would probably have been turned into iron pellets. It’s so much cooler as it is, standing in the middle of Fremont, Seattle, the United States of America. The epitome of ironic art.)
